Description Natasha, a Russian immigrant who, in order to help improve her English and meet new people, teaches the dance class. Among her students are two ladies on the prowl, a widower and a smooth-talking Romeo who is more than he seems. Everyone learns a great deal more than dance moves in this kiwi comedy filled with Hall's usual trademarks of acute observation, compassion, and plenty of humour.
