Product Information

Mixing elements of sports film, feel-good drama, and teen movie--with a dash of social realism--TAKE THE LEAD is an inspiring tale of transformation through art and sports. Based on a true story, the film centers on the dashing Pierre Dulaine, an idealistic New York City ballroom dancer who was the subject of the runaway documentary hit MAD HOT BALLROOM (2005). After spying the desperate and violent actions of a young and angry high schooler named Rock, Dulaine becomes intent on channeling his talent into the service of troubled youth, and almost immediately approaches Rock's tough but well-meaning high school principal (the always radiant Alfre Woodward) with the idea of teaching ballroom dancing to detention students. Were it not for the fact that this is a story pulled from real life, the premise might ring false; the fact that it actually happened only makes the movie more powerful.Though at first greeted with the expected disdain and cynicism by his street-hardened students--gang member Ramos, tough-as-nails Larhette, charming but overweight "Monster," and the lone white boy Kurd--all of them become transformed into dedicated, graceful, and talented dancers, performing the tango and rumba as confidently as they once initiated fistfights. Along with learning the technical steps of the ballroom, these youngsters are also exposed to their toe-tapping teacher's wisdom about life, learning everything from how to treat a lady to how to disengage from pointless violence. Former music-video director Liz Friedlander brings a kinetic energy to the film, and the pulsating hip-hop soundtrack is designed to attract youthful viewers.

  • Ballroom meets hip hop as Banderas Takes the Lead in this dance favorite

    My family loves this movie. Antonio Banderas is a great actor, incredible dancer and he creates an engaging character. Based on the true story of a dance instructer's determination to bring ballroom to everyone regardless of their background or income, the story line is fast moving and relatable. The climatic dance scenes will leave you with your mouth on the floor. If your a fan of dance movies (Step-Up, Make Your Move, etc.) or an Antonio Banderas lover, this movie will be a feel good favorite for years to come.

    Enjoyed the movie and wanted to see it again. It was a well done movie based on a true story that was positive. A much better view of how people help other people than what the media is throwing out there these days.
