take the lead

this dance movie is based on the true story of Pierre Dulaine, a ballroom dance teacher who started a bunch of classes in inner-city Manhattan schools. I think I would have enjoyed the movie more if I had known that up front, or at least I would have made a few more excuses for the cliche-ridden plot. the kids are cute and the dancing is fun, but there isn't enough of it. it was a mildly enjoyable watch, but very mildly.
