'''Take the Lead''' (2006) is a movie about a concerned citizen who uses ballroom dancing and etiquette as a form of [[character education]] for students in a violent inner city neighborhood. It also shows that the dance music of the early to mid 20th century has much in common with late 20th and early 21st century [[hip hop]].

The basic premise is that, those who have, are in a position to share with those who do not. This is underlined by the encouragement the instructor gives to white, wealthy Caitlin: "Do you like to dance?" "Yes." "Then you were made to dance." She passes on the same encouragement to a black, overweight boy (Monster).

Another basic premise is that each person must take responsibility for their lives, rather than giving up, and that this is essential to education:
