Story

Inspired by a true story, Antonio Banderas stars as internationally acclaimed ballroom dancer Pierre Dulane in the family drama "Take the Lead". The film revolves around a professional dancer who volunteers to teach in the New York City public school system. But when his classic methods clash with his students' hip hop instincts, he teams up with them to create a new style of dance and becomes their mentor in the process. "Take the Lead" co-stars Alfre Woodard and marks the feature directing debut of veteran music video helmer Liz Friedlander (U2, Blink 182, Simple Plan).

“..an engaging mentorship movie that rarely veers into sappiness, and is enlivened by dazzling dancing throughout..”

by Layla Voll [Comingsonn]

“..energetic and well-intended enough to take the lead over the lesser high-school life story..”

by Stan Urankar [Sun Newspapers of Cleveland]

“..considerably more energetic than the anemic Richard Gere-Jennifer Lopez version of "Shall We Dance?"..”

by Michael Rechtshaffen [The Hollywood Reporter]
