MINI CASE

Dance academy owner and instructor Pierre Dulaine (Antonio Banderas) offers to help
troubled detention students in a South Bronx high school. His formal ballroom style
sharply differs from their hip-hop moves. After watching a hot tango sequence between
Pierre and dance instructor
Morgan (Katya Virshilas), the students begin to warm up to Pierre’s approach. His work
with the students proves successful and they compete in the 25th Annual Grand Ballroom
Competition.
Operant Conditioning: Learning Ballroom Dancing
This film sequence has two parts with a title screen between them. The first part starts
with Pierre saying, “So, as your principal has made me your executioner, you will report to
me every morning here at 7:30 a.m.” This part ends after Pierre sings, “You’re dancing,
you’re dancing. . . .” The second part begins with Pierre saying “The waltz. It cannot be
done without trust between partners.” This sequence ends with Rock (Rob Brown) and
LaRhette (Yaya DaCosta) continuing with their practice.
