The story

In the summer of 1963, Frances 'Baby' Houseman arrives at Kellerman's resort with her family and becomes fascinated by dance instructor Johnny Castle and the staff's after-hours world. When she agrees to train as Johnny's replacement partner for an important performance, their rehearsals develop into a romance that crosses the resort's divisions of age, class and expectation.

In the room

The story is carried by extended partner-dance sequences and a soundtrack of early-1960s pop, soul and rhythm and blues, with the romance developing through rehearsal.

Good fit if you like

summer romances, social-class tension, partner dancing and 1960s pop.
