A particular taste that people have for more than three (3) centuries is that we like to unwind from the daily routine and see new things, and one of the activities that until today we use as a distraction is the movies.
Since the eighteenth century, the story began with the beginning of cinema, being the first (1st) in Paris, France in 1895 where people could enjoy viewing the projected images in motion, evolving from the projection of black and white to color and the silent cinema to the application of cinema with sound, becoming more and more attractive and popular for its viewers since it has become a form of escape for either an educational, informative or recreational purpose.
Currently in the 21st century, a great variety of films of different styles have been reproduced; This time we want to talk about the romantic film ” Dance with Me ” which was released in 1998, which we found attractive and unique for being a romance and dance film which was directed by Randa Haines, and starring Vanessa Williams and Chayanne.
It all starts with a Houston dance instructor named Ruby (played by Vanessa Williams), who throughout history believes she has found a competitive dance partner who matches her height and style and is a handsome Cuban immigrant who works as a manager who is called Rafael (played by Chayanne), a young and attractive Cuban dancer, who went through very hard times in his life due to the loss of his father, making the decision and intention to change of scene and forget a little about the sorrows , traveling to Houston.
In the dance studio, everyone is preparing for the Open World Dance Championship in Las Vegas, in this dynamic and competitive opportunity Rafael has the best hope of participating with Ruby, who will be his best hope to be able to participate in this great championship. From that moment on, an important lesson will be given to all the actors of the film as well as the viewers, and that is that the most important lesson for dancing is to follow the heart.
So if you want to see an example of how it is danced and how it is seen in a competition of “Salsa Casino” or another tropical rhythm, you can see this movie ” Dance with me ” which also has a touch of romantic drama, making it more interesting and showing that it can one need when dancing as a couple or on a wheel (a form of dance of the Salsa Casino usually or they are montuno, guaracha and also chachachá, among others, where it is formed by pairs of dancers in an indeterminate number who perform figures of dance combined between them), and as they show us that it is not only the dance steps and learning the figures (turns) but it is the communication they have (corporal and visual), which is very different from verbal communication, since that anything goes in that; communicate and let yourself be carried away by the rhythm that beats in the body, mind and heart of the dancers.
