annabeth gish is my favorite actress. she, once again, had an outstanding performance!!! she is so sincere in her work, it is impossible not to feel a part of it! there's an amazing passion that screams out from her eyes and you can see she's REAL!!! there are a lot of fake celebrities out there and she is the most legit there is!!! SHE made the movie as best as it could be,,,the material was really weak and and the plot wasn't the best around, but i'd still buy the movie because she did an amazing job!!!

For anyone who likes dance movies such as DIRTY DANCING, STRICTLY BALLROOM, and SAVE THE LAST DANCE this one is a worthy addition to that genre. Like those films, this one shares the standard plot of romantic leads from different backgrounds overcoming obstacles with comic relief from their sidekicks and lots of enjoyable music and dancing. Once again we have the awkward heroine who faces antagonism but blossoms while taking dance lessons from a hunky homeboy. Kamar De Los Reyes and Annabeth Gish were very appealing as sensitive soulmates. I have two complaints though- it was unbelievable to me that she would even consider marrying the numbskull fiance after connecting with Nick and it didn't make sense that her friends and mother would object to Nick simply because he was Hispanic- when he was a cultured college educated school teacher and even Catholic like she was. Movie writers seem to keep wanting to perpetuate cultural biases by presenting conflicts intended to show that there is something shocking about people of different ethnic backgrounds having relationships when in the real world it has become quite commonplace and accepted-at least in MY world.

A very romantic movie but also an excellent movie that taught one thing well. That one thing was that if you want to be good at anything, in this case, salsa dancing, it is very important to work at it and practice it until you have it perfected. This is a lesson that can be applied to anything in life including learning a musical instrument, acting on stage, etc. While the dancing in this movie was excellent the story-line was a more common boy meets girl story but with a twist at the end that was actually very comedic. The scene as Amy runs back down the aisle and out of church and the look on the faces of the wedding guests as she disappears on the back of a moving fire engine was priceless and one of my favorite. It almost makes you say "way to go, Amy"! :) Be sure to watch the movie if VH1 ever decides to play it again. The actors in this movie were believable. It was a VH1 Original Movie that aired over Labor Day weekend, 2001.

Annabeth Gish has always been one of my favorite actresses, and she does a very good job in this movie, especially the dance sequences. Kamar de los Reyes is excellent. Too bad these two fine actors weren't given better material.The plot is very much "Dirty Dancing", with novice dance student falling for charismatic Latin dance instructor, and a whole lot of very sensuous dancing going on. Potential spoiler: the ending is cribbed right out of "Dirty Dancing", except it's even cornier.I enjoyed the movie's visuals, and tried to tune out the schmaltzier parts of the storyline. BTW, the two women who play Annabeth's coworkers are excellent; unfortunately, in the TV version I saw, they scrunched the credits to the side to make room for a promo, and I couldn't get their names.If you like fantasy love stories (I do), and can suspend your brain for a while, you'll enjoy this movie. I gave it a 7, largely because of some very fine acting, and wonderful dance scenes.
