Take the Lead (DVD, 2006, Widescreen Edition)

Take the Lead mixes the old with the new. Inspired by a true story, Pierre Dulaine (played by Antonio Banderas) is a ballroom dancer and instructor who volunteers his services to a high school in the ghetto. At first the kids are uncooperative but when Dulaine brings in one of his students, a sexy long legged blonde, and performs a smoking hot version of the Tango with her they suddenly perk up. However, these kids are not ready to give in just yet and as they mix their own hip-hop moves with ballroom steps they create an exciting new style that will have you coming up off the sofa to dance along. As my husband said, "You just can't help yourself can you." 3 of the kids perform a number during the dance contest that will knock your socks off. Dulaine also strives to instill some of the old world values that he believes are so important to these kids futures.
