Dance with Me

• Drama
• Music
• Romance

A wistful drama unfolds as a young Cuban dancer, Rafael, arrives in Houston seeking the father he never knew, unknowingly disrupting a world steeped in the precision and passion of competitive ballroom dancing. Beyond the glittering spectacle of the World Open Dance championship, the film explores a quietly devastating longing for connection and the hesitant forging of familial bonds between a reserved instructor and his unexpectedly gifted son. The narrative isn't driven by romantic rivalry, but by a delicate, almost melancholic, exploration of absence and the complex, unspoken language of movement as a means of bridging cultural and emotional divides. It’s a story where the exuberance of dance masks a deeper, more intimate search for belonging, culminating not necessarily in victory, but in a fragile, hopeful recognition of shared heritage.
