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

The use of Plowright as a middle-aged frump wanting to get in on the sexy action is deeply patronizing. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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

Y E Feb 3 The movie plot was great. Vanessa William’s dancing…..especially when she dramatically performed a dance showing her true feelings NOT to her dance partner but to the love of her life that was in the audience, the man that treated her with the upmost respect even when she was being difficult, that dance performance that won the dance competition, was felt to the core and if you can convince me a person that grew up in unsentimental, insensitive household, then rotten tomatoes was just plain rotten for that rating. Please note: Different cultures can be as passionate and talented as white. Thank you! See more Sai M 09/24/2024 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. See more Victoria Aurora L 02/25/2024 A movie with a Latin soul!
