They go to the party, and John and Paulina have one last dance before she leaves. He goes and meets Beverly at work, convinces her that while he loves dancing, he still loves her just as much, and he teaches her to dance.
She sends John an invitation, but he is not convinced to go until his wife leaves out a pair of dancing shoes that she bought him. Paulina, having been inspired by John to take up competing again, is leaving to go to Europe, and is having a going-away party at the dance studio. John quits dancing, to everyone's dismay. He and Bobbie fall and are disqualified, and John and Beverly argue in the parking garage. Link and Bobbie do well in the Latin dances, and while John and Bobbie's waltz goes well, John sees his wife and daughter in the crowd during the quickstep, and is distracted by trying to find them.
John is partnered with Bobbie for the competition, although his friend Link steps in to do the Latin dances. She hires a private investigator to find out what John is doing, but when she finds out the truth, she chooses to discontinue the investigation and not invade her husband's privacy. But the more time John spends away from home, the more his wife Beverly becomes suspicious. His friendship with Paulina blossoms, as his enthusiasm rekindles her own lost passion for dance.
Keeping his new obsession from his family and co-workers, John feverishly trains for Chicago's biggest dance competition. But, as his lessons continue, John falls in love with dancing. 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. His teacher turns out not to be the woman in the window, Paulina, but the studio's older namesake, Miss Mitzi, and John proves to be just as clumsy as his equally clueless classmates Chic and Vern on the dance-floor. Haunted by her gaze, John impulsively jumps off the train one night, and signs up for ballroom dancing lessons, hoping to meet her.Īt first, it seems like a mistake. 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. I liked the dance, but I like the music more.John Clark is a lawyer with a charming wife, Beverly, and a loving family, who nevertheless feels that something is missing as he makes his way every day through the city. If you’ve seen the hot argentine tango performed by Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere (his part sure looked easier) in Shall We Dance, then you’ve heard the most popular cut on the album, “Santa Maria (del buen ayre)”. But it's here at last, and it could make accordion music popular again. The album received a couple of years of play in Europe and sold 500,000 copies worldwide before being released here in the U.S. The ten tracks are rounded out with a version of Astor Piazzolla’s “Vuelvo Al Sur”. Most of the material was written by GoTan’s core group of musicians, but they’ve added a great version of Frank Zappa’s “Chunga’s Revenge” as well as Gato Barbieri’s theme from The Last Tango in Paris. Incorporating the ‘bandoneon’ with violin and some vocals, the sound is smooth, sexy and hip. The first album by the GoTan Project, La Revancha is an eclectic fusion of Argentine tango rhythm, electronic synthesizer and native Argentinean instruments.

But after a few minutes, the music got under my skin and the more I listened, the more I realized this was not music to be ignored. When I first heard La Revancha del Tango (Tango’s Revenge), I thought I was listening to some European-sounding background music, assumed I could ignore it, and went back to work. In October 2010 the album was certified Gold by the BPI for sales of 100,000+ in the UK. La Revancha del Tango is the debut album of Gotan Project, released in 2001.
