Based upon a real story, the movie tells the struggle of Pierre Dulain (Antonio Banderas), a dance teacher, to give to a group of problem kids a second chance, exploring their dance skills. One night, Dulain sees astonished a boy, Rock (Rob Brown), destroying the car of his school director. Next day, Dulaine goes to the school to asks the director for a job of dance teacher. She doesn't believe to much in Dulaine's idea: helping a group of in-detention-kids (including Rock) to reform themselves through ball dance classes. Even for the kids won't be the greatest idea, whom prefer hip-hop or rap. But Dulain catches their attention after a tango session despite their indifference at the beginning, the rejects of the formal Dulaine pupils in his dance academy and the critics from parents and other teachers, whom believe that the kids need more maths and less dance. Nevertheless, our dance learners will compete in a dance contest, because the important thing isn't winning, but make the difference.
