Summary : John Clark (Richard Gere)
is a man with a wonderful job, a charming wife and a loving family, who
nevertheless feels that something is missing as he makes his way every
day through the city. Each evening on his commute home through Chicago,
John sees a beautiful woman staring with a lost expression through the
window of a dance studio. Haunted by her gaze, John impulsively jumps
off the train one night, and signs up for ballroom dancing lessons, hoping to meet her. At first, it seems like a mistake. His teacher turns out to be not Paulina (Jennifer Lopez), but the older Miss Mitzi (Anita Gillette),
and John proves just as clumsy as his equally clueless classmates on
the dance-floor. Even worse, when he does meet Paulina, she icily tells
John she hopes he has come to the studio to seriously study dance and
not to look for a date. But, as his lessons continue, John falls in
love with dancing. Keeping his new obsession from his family and
co-workers, John feverishly trains for Chicago's biggest dance
competition. His friendship with Paulina blossoms, as his enthusiasm
rekindles her own lost passion for dance. But the more time John spends
away from home, the more his wife Beverly (Susan Sarandon)
becomes suspicious. With his secret about to be revealed, John has to
do some fancy footwork to keep his dream going and realize what it is
he really yearns for. (Wikipedia)
