“Let’s Dance” Movie Premier

Following the search lights that led fans to the Beatles, the Pope, the Rolling Stones and just last week, to Friendship Village, paparazzi clustered behind pillars and posts to capture photos of Let’s Dance movie stars as they exited their limousines, courtesy of A1 American Limousine.

When a not-so-successful dance instructor and choreographer, Don Zallejo, finally admits to himself he will not be the next Bob Fossi, he sets out to find a job anywhere in the country teaching dance.  Hired by the “Friendly City,” Zallejo takes on the challenge of teaching three couples, Louise and Clark Meriwether, Tom and Gerri Collins, and Mike and Lena Turner.  He soon discovers just how challenging these three couples can be in a hilarious 25 minutes of antics and missteps.
