Part 2/5:
For many, "Take the Lead" is best known as a film, but Adrian's involvement transforms it into a live musical. The story revolves around Pierre Dulaine, who imported ballroom dancing into New York City public schools, a narrative close to Adrian's heart. As a product of the New York City Board of Education, she feels a profound connection to the project's educational aspect, which adds layers of significance to her work.
Adrian expressed how special it is for her to be part of the initial stages of this adaptation. It's an undertaking that dives into the roots of dance and its impacts on youth, something she believes has never been showcased in this form.
