Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: B Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Upbeat dance-romance is fine for tweens and up. Rated: 3/5 Dec 22, 2010 Full Review Leonard Klady Variety The real creative opportunities lie in visual and choreographic options, and Haines doesn't miss a beat in either department. Jun 17, 2008 Full Review Yael Shuv Total Film 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 Jun 1, 2018 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide For every clich embraced in its entirety, another is subverted just enough that you're pleasantly surprised. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 17, 2008 Full Review Film4 Too insubstantial to rise above being anything other than feel-good fluff... Jun 17, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Sai M I absolutely love this movie and have since the first moment that I ever saw it. The chemistry between Chayanne and Vanessa Williams is glorious and the dancing beautifully mesmerizing! The costumes and how they respond to one another is even more awesome and it reminds me of Strictly Ballroom; which is another beautiful dancing movie, however, with this film in particular the things I loved most were the supporting cast members who attended the dance studio and how each of their relationships corroborated with the main characters and their end goals. It's one of the most beautiful Latin dance films and I would categorize it among some of the best. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Victoria Aurora L A movie with a Latin soul! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Michael T 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/07/23 Full Review Steve D If you are into this kind of thing there are far worse choices. Nothing new but fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Josiris D Sweet, romantic, and fun film that will make you want to be a professional dancer! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member ME GUSTAN ESTE TIPO DE PELICULA ROMANTICA, LA PROTAGONISTA ES MUY BELLA Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
