谈谈情，跳跳舞

约翰（理查·基尔 Richard Gere饰）面临着典型的中年危机：即使有着幸福家庭和体面事业，内心的空虚和压力却随着年龄而倍增。他一成不变的生活需要某些催化剂，来重新唤醒内心激情。 　　每次路过舞蹈室，约翰都会看到舞蹈老师宝琳娜（詹妮弗·洛佩兹 Jennifer Lopez饰）。她美丽而略带神秘的魅力、加上约翰内心期待的某种生活的变化，终于把他带进了里面的舞蹈课程。他报名参加这里的社交舞培训，但令人失望的是老师并不是宝琳娜。更糟糕的是，约翰舞姿笨拙，似乎并不是跳舞的料。 　　然而，当学舞成为了约翰生活的一部分，当他终于结识了宝琳娜并和她甚为投缘，情况开始有了变化——约翰报名参加了一个芝加哥的舞蹈大赛，而约翰的婚姻，也亮起了红灯。John Clark is a middle aged Chicago estate lawyer. He loves his family, which includes his wife Beverly, but their combined busy schedules and getting caught in a rut after two decades of marriage has left him feeling unfulfilled. While taking the el train home every night, he notices the same young, beautiful contemplative woman staring out of one of the windows of Miss Mitzi's Dance Studio, which specializes in ballroom. He is intrigued enough with her beauty and sadness to go in one evening on his way home. He learns that she is Paulina, one of the instructors and a former world class ballroom dancer. Because of her, he signs up for beginner group dance lessons, regardless of them being taught by Miss Mitzi herself, and not Paulina. As time progresses, John gets caught up in the lives of those at Miss Mitzi's: his two fellow classmates - overweight Vern who wants to learn to dance for his upcoming wedding, and Chic, who wants to impress the ladies - and two of the studio's competitive amateurs, opinionated and brash Bobbie, who is looking for a dance partner, and one person who surprises John and who just wants to be able to show his true colors to the world while hiding under a mask. But as Paulina slowly allows herself to be involved in their lives as well, despite she vowing not to fraternize with the students, John comes to the spoken realization of what he was looking for when he first spotted Paulina in the window. Similarly, each of those at the dance studio are looking for their small place in life with the right person, Paulina included. John may not get the happy ending that he wants as Beverly, based on circumstances, believes he is having an affair.
