But expectations and reality are two entirely different things. And when Baby sets eyes on handsome dance instructor Johnny Castle, a rebellious dreamer from the wrong side of the tracks, an exciting, music-filled world she never knew existed unfolds before her. As their heated bodies entwine and passionate hips roll right under everyone’s noses, Baby and the Mambo King explore the boundaries of rhythm, entranced by Johnny’s confident style and their effortless connection. It won’t be a walk in the park, but Baby is about to have a blast and learn a thing or two about dance and love.
