Shall We Dance?

 

Hey Everyone, In celebration of Jennifer Lopez's Birthday coming up, I have decided to write about one of my favorite Movies Starring her, called Shall We Dance? 

Starring Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez, Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci, Lisa Ann Walter, Nick Cannon, and a whole wonderful cast of people! 

The movie starts off with a man named John Clarke, he is a lawyer and married to a woman named Beverly and he has a loving family he feels like something is missing in his life every day as he makes his way through the city, each evening on his commute home from Chicago he sees a beautiful woman in the window with a lost expression on her face through the window of a dance studio.

He is haunted by her gaze and he impulsively jumps off the train and signs up for ballroom dancing classes hoping to meet her, at first he feels like it was a mistake to sign up for the ballroom dancing class because he met the woman he has seen in the window Paulina.

 His teacher is the older teachers namesake of the studio Miss. Mitzi, and John is proving to be as clumsy as his equally clueless classmates Chic and Vern on the dance-floor.

 Later the good news is he gets his wish and he gets to meet Paulina the woman he was wanting and destined to meet unfortunately he doesn't get the response he was hoping for when he finally got to meet her and talk to her, she icily tells him she hopes he has come there to seriously learn how to dance and not look for a date, as he continues in his dance lessons he falls in love with dancing.

 He has not told his family or friends about his new obsession with dancing, he feverishly trains for the dance competition in Chicago his friendship with Paulina blossoms as his enthusiasm rekindles her own last passion for dance, the more time John spends away from home his wife gets more suspicious of what he is up to, she hires a private investigator to find out what John is doing once she finds out what he is up too.. she cancels the investigation and doesn't invade on her husbands privacy.

 Finally the competition has arrived and John is partnered with Bobbie for the competition his friend Link steps in to do the latin dances while John and Bobbie's waltz goes well.

 John suddenly hears his wife's and daughter voices in the crowd during the quickstep, he immediately gets distracted trying to find them, unfortunately him and bobbie fall and end up getting disqualified sadly, he and his wife Beverly argue in the parking garage and he ends up quitting dancing to everyone's dismay Paulina who was inspired by John to take up competing again is leaving to go to Europe and is having a go-away party at the dance studio. 

You will have to see the movie to find out what happens next with Paulina and John and the rest of the class! I decided to write about this movie because I have loved dancing since I was a little girl.

Dancing is one of my favorite things to do! I have a fun childhood memory that involves dancing, I am a big fan of the cheetah girls, I love all their movies, one year I had decided to have a birthday cheetah girls themed Party, Cheetah Girls One-World and me and my friends had a wonderful time we danced to a lot of cheetah girls songs from that movie! 

It is a memory I will always cherish,  One Pro in having Diabetes is I get to dance often, especially when my sugar levels are high and I have to get them down, I start dancing to you can't stop by the beat from Hairspray and that song immediately brings them down! Try dancing to that song it will give you a workout Lol!

One memory I can share with you is when I was in chorus for a chorus trip we went to Virginia Beach for a chorus concert, the time that we were there we got to go on a ship, during the time we were on the ship, they played a lot of fun and good music all I remember doing on the ship is dancing.

I danced a lot to one of the songs Party Rock, everyone was surprised at my dancing and talking about it the next day and saying Emerald you can really dance! 

Another time I experienced good dancing was when I went to see Aladdin on broadway With my chorus class and my high school chorus teacher that was an amazing and fun trip! 

They did a lot of fun dancing in that play, my favorite dance they did in that play was Friend like Me with Aladdin and the Genie dancing together, and then in the finale, they did excellent Dancing the whole crowd enjoyed it! 

Another play I really enjoyed dancing in was a Play Called Take the Lead, The dancing was incredible throughout the whole Play! 

Everyone put their Heart and spirit in their characters and dancing! The whole audience was on their feet by the end of the play! Adrienne -Bailon - Houghton Played the Principal in the Play, she did a beautiful Job! Everyone who went to see the play loved it, and told everyone about it and that they should check out the play! I saw it with my wonderful Jennie and we had a wonderful Time! 

I also wrote about this play because I am a big fan of Jennifer Lopez's I love a lot of her movies, she's so genuine and puts her whole heart into whatever character she is playing and she makes you feel like the character she is playing is a real person! 

One of my other favorite movies with her is the Wedding Planner, she does an incredible job in that movie! You should check out that movie when you get a chance, and also check out Marry Me I love her in that movie! She's so caring and kind and loving and has such and elegant Presence! 

Richard Gere also does an incredible Job in the movie, He plays his character Really good, and really draws the audience into his character and world! 

He has acted in a lot of awesome movies, my favorite one with him is Pretty Woman, He and Julia Roberts play off each other really well in that movie! You should check out some of his movies when you get a chance you will really enjoy it!

I also really enjoy Lisa Ann Walter's Movies, The first movie I saw her in was Parent Trap where She played Chessy, she did a beautiful Job in that movie, and her character she played in the movie is a memorable character, Everyone who has seen Parent Trap remembers Chessy! 

She also plays in Abbott Elementary, She plays Melissa Schemmenti, a second grade teacher and does an incredible job at it! She is loved by her students and fellow coworkers and friends and family! 

She also has a bright and happy smile! As soon as you see her smile it will stay in your head whenever you think of a happy smile you will see hers in your head because of how happy it is!

 I love happy smiles they always make my day and my Heart Happy!

 Like a smile that I really like and enjoy is my First Lady at Church's smile it is so welcoming and Warm, and makes you feel happy on the inside and outdside!

 I also enjoy my big sister;s smile, her smile can light up the whole room, her mom's smile can too!  

I love a lot of people's smiles especially if it is really happy and contagious because when you see their happy smile it will make you smile! Jennifer Lopez also has a beautiful smile! It fills up her whole face, and when you see her smile I bet you will feel a smile come on your face, especially when she laughs and smiles!

My favorite scene from the movie is when the classmates all go out to eat after finishing one of their dance classes and they all learn about each other and why they are learning ballroom dancing ! 

The responses and looks they give each other after they learn about each other and why they are dancing is so funny! It will make you laugh too! I also like when John finds out his co-worker is also taking dancing and he has such a surprised look!

 My encouragement to you is to Dance whenever you can, and enjoy life and seize the day and opportunity, whenever you have a feeling to dance then Dance! 

You will absolutely love that you did! One of my favorite songs to dance to is Save the Last Dance for Me by Micheal Buble, Fun Song and Let's Get Loud by J-Lo! Also if you like other kinds of music 🎶, Anthony Evans is absolutely incredible LOVE him, Kirk Franklin, Israel houghton have a lot of entertaining and fun songs  , also if you like Grease or Whitney Houston, those are also fun to dance too!

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good fun family movie! And dance !
