This movies gonna be good! Can't wait til it comes out.

Take The Lead.

Release Date: April 7th, 2006

Cast: Antonio Banderas, Rob Brown, Elijah Kelley, Yaya DeCosta, Alfre Woodard, John Ortiz, Laura Benanti, Dante Basco, Jenna Dewan, Marcus T. Paulk, Jonathan Malen, Laura Collins.

Plot Sypnosis:

Pierre Dulane (Antonio Banderas), a one-time professional ballroom dancer, decides to teach at a public school in New York City. His hip-hop–obsessed students don't dig his stiff ballroom style, so he develops a new hybrid dance with their help.
Initially forced to participate as a form of detention, the kids reject Mr. Dulaine's efforts until his unwavering commitment and dedication finally inspires them to embrace the program, infusing it with their own unique hip-hop style while subconsciously learning valuable life lessons about pride, respect, self-esteem and honor.

^ He has small roles in Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, Moesha, and some Moveis. He was the Spoken words poet on Love Don't Cost a Thing. Awesome poem he recited.

I love dance movies, even though for the most part they lack depth. haha

Why did you bold Dante Basco's name?

This looks like one of the most formulaic movies to come out in years. Which is pretty bad considering the crap Hollywood has produced recently.

Dante's character is so hot. Too bad his character bugged me most of the time.


anyway... I liked the movie. Somewhat typical story, though. Innercity kids. Someone helps them through it by introducing them to some sort of art form. In this case: dancing. Overall, it was a cool movie. Many funny parts.

I want to buy the DVD when it comes out!



Man... I just LOVEEEEE ballroom dancing movies. During the movie, I would constantly say how I could do some of the styles. I studied ballroom dancing for a short time.

My friend got passes so saw it early and recommended it to me.. I've seen the previews and want to go see it!
Antonio Banderas, YAY! His movies are so different and so I like him as an actor!

Really looking forward to seeing this movie!

I'm gonna see this w/former students bc I used to teach hiphop and do some tango/ballroom stuff lol. Interested to see how it works on film.

Then again, there's always Dirty Dancing 1 & 2.
