Take the Lead – DVD

Posted on 2007 under Drama, Latest Reviews

A former professional dancer (Antonio Banderas) offers his skills to the New York public school system, his traditional methods clash with his students’ hip-hop sensibilities. But by combining the two techniques and learning to work together, the class creates a style uniquely their own. Alfre Woodard co-starts in this inspiring dance drama based on the real-life experiences of instructor Pierre Dulane.

I can say just one word to describe this movie, fabulous. This movie had fire, depth, a great story line and moving scenes. This movie is set in the urban city of New York. It characterize youth growing up in rough circumstances just trying to survive from day to day. Antonio Banderas delivers a moving performance convincing troubled youth to get inspired by ball room dancing. I know what most of you might think. Ball room dancing, a great movie, yeah right you’re kidding me. To that I would say just rent this movie and you will see the magic of this movie. This movie put me in the head of these youth and the struggle they endured. It put me in awe when I say the moves performed. It made me want to find a ball room dancing school and try this form of dancing. And in my book, if a movie inspires me that much, it has to be good.

Go see this movie. Although some of the scenes may seem a little on the racy side, I would still recommend this for children as well as adults. Be cautioned though. This is a PG13 movie.
