Profile of Dance With Me

Dance With Me can be described as feel good, sentimental, and touching. The plot revolves around dancers, life in an urban ghetto, and idealism. The main genres are drama, romance, and music-oriented. In approach, Dance With Me is realistic. It is set, at least in part, at a high school. It is located in Cuba and Nevada. Dance With Me is well suited for a date night.

Summary of Dance With Me

Rafael Infante (Chayanne), a Cuban native who never met his real father, immigrates to America. Taking up residence in Houston, he begins searching for his illegitimate father and takes up employment as a superintendent at the world renowned Excelsior Dance Studio run by John Burnett (Kris Kristofferson). While working as a lowly handyman, Rafael meets Ruby (Vanessa Williams), a striking dancer. Together they enter into the Las Vegas World Open Dance competition and embark in a heated romance.

DANCE WITH ME is a warm heartfelt film. It exhibits Randa Haines' knack for suspenseful, romantic storytelling (she worked as a director on HILL STREET BLUES in the early 1980s). Kris Kristofferson departs from his standard role of grit-iron tough guy to play the effeminate dance instructor. Chayanne is striking and dapper. He demonstrates that dancing is both a sexy art form and a mode of expression for confident and empowered men.
