Relatively calm and sweet

Christmas Dance (or Come Dance With Me) came along before the mass proliferation of "big company buys up blocks to destroy forcing out long-term small family business". So watching it now it looks like the same old tired story, but when it came out it was a relatively new trope.

It also came out when Hallmark was routinely using some bigger name actors in these movies, and Andrew McCarthy does a fine job as a rising businessman who finds himself suddenly in the midst of a moral dilemma.

What starts out as dance classes in the block he's financing the deal to tear down turns into a sweet budding romance and a hidden identity story. The conflict of love versus money never looks like a real conflict, but you'll enjoy the movie anyway. We're up for repeating viewings, but with a few years in between.
