When Dulane volunteers to teach dance in the New York public school system, his background first clashes with his students' tastesbut together they create a completely new style of dance.<P><b>DVD Features:</b> <b>Audio Commentary</b> <b>Music Clips</b> </p> Reader Reviews This is another movie where an adult finds a creative way to intervene in the lives of troubled inner-city youths to teach them dignity, respect, and a little ballroom dancing. Antonio Banderas did a fantastic job in this film with a great mix of meekness and toughness. The magical part was not necessarily the plot (although it was touching) but how Banderas found the $200 entry fee for each of the couples in the competition, plus dresses/tuxes for them, and how the authority figures do not call security to remove the interlopers at the cotillion nor at the competition when they hijack the sound system. At 2 hours long, its about 15 minutes too long, but is enjoyable overall.
