I am at a loss to figure how this lovely film failed to get a wide release. I picked it up featured in a set of five discs that contain 20 mostly public domain movies. The set was on a clearance table at my local drugstore. I bought it for a buck.And I LOVE this movie. If you ever enjoyed the electric grace or slightly tussled bad boy charm of Patrick Swayze in ANYTHING please seek this out. Prepare to have your heart broken...because this film proves just how huge a star he could have been in a better time and place where song and dance were fully appreciated on film.This is quite simply one of the greatest films about dance ever. Think "All that Jazz" think "Chicago" think "The Red Shoes"...and yes..think "Dirty Dancing"....this may actually top them all as the most graphic and realistic depiction of both the ecstasy of the sheer joy of dance...and the agony of earning that ecstasy.Quite simply a joy...and if seeing Swayze giving his all for one last fantastic and joyous dance doesn't break your heart and make it sing at the same time..you might just need CPR.Lovely...just lovely...and thanks Lisa for showcasing Patrick as I always want to remember him.

I have to agree that this is a dancer's movie ... one can feel the aches, the sweat, the soul and the spirit. But it is not only for dancers; it is for anyone who truly loves dance. It provides insights so deep that no person could ever watch another 'dance movie' in the same way again; this one film - 'One Last Dance' - so far surpasses, outclasses, every other dance film made that it makes them all look pathetic. (Other than 'A Chorus Line', which until I saw 'One Last Dance' was my choice as standing apart from all other dance films.)The dancers ...What can one say about Patrick Swayze other than that he s sublime!!! He will, without doubt, live forever; he is the spirit of dance.George De La Pena - magnificent! Lisa Niemi ably completes the trio - and does so beautifully.I really loved this movie, and will watch it again, and again, and again.

I am a novice dancer but this film left me speechless. It was awesome to watch the dancing and for me to think that both Lisa and Patrick were in their early 50's when this was shot, is amazing to me. They were beautiful in the dancing as were the other dancers. What inspired me to return to dancing was the scene with the seniors doing ballet. It showed to a non dancer that it is never to late to follow your heart and maybe take up a dream you had as a youngster. Choreography was great, I enjoyed watching to process and dedication required to get the show done. This film touches the soul, if not then no film can. The story is good but the dancing is awesome. Its a shame that the film did not get picked up my a major studio I think they really lost out. Great job , well worth buying this movie.

As someone who has been dancing all her life and is now a dance teacher and a writer for a dance magazine, I must say that this movie SUCKED!!!! What a joke!! Doug Varone and Desmond Richardson, two incredibly respected artists, what are you DOING involved in this crap?? Patrick Swayze and the woman are so unbelievably over the top, their acting is just ridiculous. And the dancing isn't even good, the choreography is hysterically bad, and the cinematography leaves you unable to even see the movement.If you are a dancer, get your dancer friends together, get wasted and have a great laugh with this unbelievable joke of a movie. Especially if you are anti- a lot of contemporary modern crap that's out there right now, you'll die laughing.
