In HSM it's a basketball game, a scholarly competition and the final auditions for the show; in Take the Lead a dance contest...
...they dedicate themselves to it, they can compete in the city-wide dance-off at the end of the term. One kids sneers: "Music is corny. There's no feeling." To prove he's wrong, Pierre bends and blends. When someone proposes to mix the standards repertoire with a hip-hop beat, Pierre says, "Two songs, working together. It is a beautiful idea."
