Dance with Me Trailers

Young Cuban Rafael just buried his mother, and comes to Houston to meet his father John for the first time. The difficult part is that John doesn't know he is Rafael's father. John runs a dance studio, and everyone prepares for the World Open Dance championship in Las Vegas. It soon becomes clear Rafael is a very good dancer, and Ruby is the biggest hope for the studio at the championship.

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Ava-Grace Willis

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Leoni Haney

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

to sum it up, the movie actually made me get up and dance. generally, along with the masterpieces that make you think, wonder, guess, or everything at the same time, I love movies that just bring the positive vibes to me. "Dance with me is certainly not a highly valuable masterpiece with the deepest meaning... but I gave it 10 starts for being the kind of the movie that can actually make you feel positive and peaceful; and for having that incredibly relaxed and at the same time playful mood ... I'm ready to watch it again whenever I need some positive energy or whenever I'm into dancing mood:) Go ahead with it especially if you are or have ever been into dancing

I couldn't believe how happy this film made me. First of all, its not just a dance film. It has several sub-plots that deal with issues of abandonment and rejection by a parent, abuse between two dance partners who used to be married, wanting to find a real family, and defining what family really means. It has Kris Kristofferson who can do no wrong in my book, and beautiful people who feel the joy of living through dancing. When I say "beautiful people", I mean folks of all ages and sizes who love life and the dance.The central love story between Ruby and Rafael is very believable. Vanessa Williams (Ruby) is a goddess on the dance floor and off and Chayanne plays Rafael- a good dancer but not quite up to her caliber. The dance contest scenes are world-class. I won't spoil the ending for you, but the film really does draw out the suspense so you are not sure what will happen, but you hope that love will prevail in the end.When I came to see the reviews on this site, I expected to see a rating of at least 7. I think that if more people saw the film and reviewed it, the score would be much higher than 5.6. If you love professional dance, beautiful people of all ages, and a great love story, see this movie.

There is no question about the way the film ends, there was no suspense at all involved in this film, no imagination used in any aspect. The Story was poorly written, the acting was poorly directed, the actors were poorly chosen and the entire film made me feel like I should hate the person who forced me to sit through this overdone waste of time. It was just awful in every way. There was nothing good about this film. It was a formula film with all expected parts. I feel as though I have been violated and that exaggeration is the only form of recourse here, as an effort to ensure no one else suffers through this film. Endlessly scrubbing dirt off of a mud patch would be a better way to spend the afternoon.

just wanted to say i totally agree about the chemistry. i saw it with my mom at the theater and was lost about the plot then but it didn't matter cuz there was so much going on between chayanne and vanessa williams i was totally caught up in them. i think they had just one kiss and that was so hot, it was a tease. they seemed to have a lot of fun together. the movie gets shown on cable a bit and i understand what it's about now a little too after having seen it a few times. i always think the writing will bore me and it does a little but the chemistry keeps me there. chayanne's character has a black cuban mom too, they show a quick photo of her, and the vanessa williams character cuz of her color and the fact that she's a single mom too. before they kiss, they talk about her child and how she was left pregnant and he grabs her then. still it all kind of doesn't matter cuz those two are real hot and cute together. i do hope they do something else somehow cuz i know this didn't get a lot of attention.
