Variety

The real creative opportunities lie in visual and choreographic options, and Haines doesn't miss a beat in either department.

The thin story is as shabby as the location, but Dance With Me just about survives on the charisma and sexual chemistry of its two gorgeous stars.

Rated: 3/5

TV Guide

For every clich embraced in its entirety, another is subverted just enough that you're pleasantly surprised.

Too insubstantial to rise above being anything other than feel-good fluff...

Extremely slow moving and thin plot line. Vanessa Williams is gorgeous when she's not making pained expressions, which is much of the time. There aren't enough dance sequences to make up for the lumbering pace of the "dramatic" scenes. We don't get to see the two leads really dance together until the closing moments of the film. I'm surprised at all the positive reviews.

If you are into this kind of thing there are far worse choices. Nothing new but fun.
