DANCE WITH ME MOVIE
Dance with Me is about a young Cuban man, Rafael, whose mother has just died, and arrives in Houston. Here he meets his
father, John Burnett for the
first time, although John doesn't know he is Rafael's father.
John owns and runs a dance studio, where they are busy preparing for a dance competition in Las Vegas. Rafael finds himself
falling for Ruby, a beautiful and talented dancer.
Rafael and Ruby get to know each other at a party and they share a passionate kiss, but then Ruby pulls away from him and tells
him she doesn't want a relationship. Ruby has a child by her former dance partner, Julian.
Burnett slowly loses interest in the dancing and encourages Rafael to partner Patricia. Burnett also rejects Rafael, and tells him
to go back to Cuba. Feeling rejected by the two people he wants to be with, he makes a decision to return to Cuba after the
dance contest.
In Las Vegas, whilst watching Rafael dance with Patricia, Ruby
feels stabs of jealousy and when its her turn to dance with Julian, she can't take her eyes off Rafael. She realises her true
feelings for Rafael, and when Rafael tells her later he's planning to return to Cuba, she has to let him know that she does love
him and wants him to stay. John Burnett also turns up and convinces him to stay.
There is a great final dance scene. The soundtrack CD of the film is available and has some great contemporary afro-cuban and latin dance music.
