Take the Lead

Starring Antonio Banderas with an important dance teacher role, the movie is about a teacher helping troubled students and giving them a direction in life.
Banderas is witness to a car vandalizing scene. He uses this as a reason to enter the school. The school teachers use him as a bait to supervise the students in detention. As Banderas goes to the class, he is met with a bunch of no-nonsense kids, who are into rap music. Everyday, the same happens as the students consider Banderas' ball room dancing a weak form of art.
However, inspired by one of his dance school student's opinion, he invites a partner to the detention class and shows a sizzling number, after which the students take him seriously. They start practising for an upcoming dance competition.
Blended with the story is the life of a girl and boy, who have a tough life. They have a reason to hate each other, but give each other a chance, and with Banderas' help, they become good partners to be performing together in the competition.
Finally in the dance competition, after crossing some hurdles, the school students make a bold entrance and impact on those present.
An OK movie to watch. It wasn't entirely based on dance, but seeing the girl and boy facing their troubles and coming together was the good part of the movie and definitely worth watching.
