Take The Lead

Why fight when you could foxtrot? Dance instructor Pierre Dulaine decided to turn after school detention into lessons in ballroom dancing in Take The Lead. Released in 2006, Antonio Banderas starred as the real life twinkle-toed instructor. His lessons helped unite the students, giving them a much-needed outlet to find and express themselves and even a chance to earn a cash prize of $5,000 at a local dance competition. Despite poor reviews from critics, the film, which co-starred Yaya DaCosta and Alfre Woodard, grossed over $30 million at the box office.
