Dance with Me (1998 film)

Dance With Me (1998) is a 1998 comedy on love and dance starring Vanessa L. Williams and Puerto Rican singer Chayanne.

Plot

After burying his mother, charming but broody Rafael Infante (Chayanne) comes from Santiago, Cuba to Houston, Texas to work for a man named John Burnett (Kris Kristofersson) as a handyman in Burnett's dance studio. While there he finds himself falling for a dancer and instructor Ruby Sinclair (Williams), who incidentally brought him to the studio. It turns out that the dancers in the studio are preparing for a dance competition in Las Vegas and that Ruby would be taking part as well. Rafael gets close to Ruby and their attraction to each other grows, but she is not willing to commit herself to a relationship as she seems more interested in her dancing.
Meanwhile Rafael's arrival and persona wins him the friendship of an old dancer Bea Johnson (Joan Plowright) as well as the studio receptionist Lovejoy (Beth Grant), but it also causes some discomfort to Burnett, who suddenly begins to withdraw into himself and takes less interest in the preparations for the competition, much to the chagrin of his own partner Patricia Black (Jane Krakowski)
