Middle-aged John (Richard Gere) works as a mid-level executive in a large company, and his life seems perfect: a beautiful wife (Susan Sarandon) and a pair of middle-school-aged children in a quiet suburb; near-completion, however, means near-dullness and stagnation: a job that has remained virtually unchanged for more than two decades has made the challenges of his career nonexistent, and his wife is still beautiful and caring. His wife is still beautiful and caring, but because of their busy schedules, they haven't talked to each other in a long time. In the midst of a life that was becoming a blur of boredom, John noticed the beauty and silence of the woman behind the window he saw every day when he rode the subway through a certain neighborhood. It was a dance studio, and the neon advertisements that flashed through the night every time, along with the melancholy young woman, evoked a long-lost longing in John's life. John finally could not resist getting off the bus one day and started an evening class at this dance studio to learn ballroom dancing. His concealment causes misunderstandings with his wife, and the dancing turns from a simple attraction to the mysterious woman into a real turning point in John's life and the lives of the people around him.
John Clark (Richard Gere), a successful Chicago barrister, although in the eyes of outsiders, he has been successful, has an enviable career, a harmonious and happy marriage and a gentle and virtuous wife (Beverly, Susan Sarandon), but in his own heart, he is under tremendous pressure of life, the marriage of the boredom of the family life and the work of the entire day complicated The lawyer has lost his passion and excitement for life.
Until one day on his way home, when he happened to look up and down the street, he saw the sign of a dance school and its teachers standing at the window, out of long-lost curiosity, John Clarke walked into the school door and enrolled, hoping to find some happiness in the ordinary life.
In the dance school, John naturally becomes acquainted with Paulina (Jennifer Lopez), who is a dance teacher, and in the process of learning to dance under Paulina, a heretical and romantic relationship slowly germinates between the two. John is no longer living a monotonous life of working and going home every day. At the dance school, he not only learns the relaxing and beautiful dance, but also makes a lot of new friends, especially the beautiful dance teacher whom he fell in love with at first sight. After a period of contact and interaction between the two, John not only has more new friends who can enrich his life, but more importantly, it also makes him more interested in the work he has been a bit bored with, and even in the process of the work can be in a happy mood to dance in the process.
