| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Dance With Me |
|---|
Rafael is a Cuban man who has never met his father. All he has is a name that his mother gave him before she died. He contacts the man and is offered a job in Texas as a handyman in his father's dance studio.
When he goes to America he is greeted by Ruby, one of the dancers in the studio. They have an instant attraction to each other, but Ruby is very sensitive and afraid to love again.
Rafael tries to get closer to his father and ends up taking his father's place in the Las Vegas World Open Dance Championships where Ruby is also competing with her ex-husband.
