[edit] Plot Summary
This was going to be the first year that Marshal Middle School was not going to have a dance team. All that changes when the new Biology teacher, Ms. Bartlett, agrees to be the coach. Now the girls need to prove that they are ready to compete and are able to win; not only to themselves, but to their parents and coach. Using the chant "sí, se puede" or "yes, we can" the Dance team builds their confidence to perform.
[edit] Goofs
The phrase "Si, se puede" is translated in the movie to mean "Yes, we can". However, "Si, se puede" literally translates to "Yes it can". (When it is mentioned earlier in the film that "Si, se puede" means "Yes, I can", that is also incorrect.) "Si, nos podemos" is incorrect. It would have to be "Si podemos" to be grammatically correct. Yet, in the United States, the phrase is colloquially translated to "Yes, we can", so it is probable that the writers and directors made the decision consciously, especially considering that the director is of Spanish descent.
