Take The Lead (2006)

Rock (Rob Brown), the film’s underdog protagonist, arrives at a school dance with a water-damaged ticket and is denied entrance by Mr. Temple (John Ortiz) and Principal James (Alfre Woodard). Rock leaves and encounters some thugs, who lead him to vandalize Principal James’ car. Pierre Dulaine (Antonio Banderas), a classical dance instructor, catches Rock in the act, but Rock runs away before Pierre can question him further. The next morning at the school, Pierre waits to see the principal as Mr. Temple discusses the detention program with Principal James. As he waits, he repeatedly opens doors for women and even stand as they walk by. A student, Eddie (Marcus T. Paulk) ridicules him for it, but Pierre stands his ground, and Eddie is seen opening a door for a girl when Pierre is called in to the principal’s office. Pierre explains to the principal that he was a witness to the vandalism on her car, and eventually offers to take over Mr. Temple’s detention shift, to which Principal James agrees, although she is sure that he will not last more than a day.
