Shall We Dance? is an American motion picture released in 2004. It is a remake of the award-winning Masayuki Suo 1996 Japanese film, Shall We Dansu?. The film made its US premier at the Hawaii International Film Festival. Taglines: Step out of the ordinary. A new comedy about following your own lead. John Clark is a lawyer with 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 , but the older Miss Mitzi , 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.
