Steps/The Whole City is Dancing 舞動全城 (TVB Drama 2007)

I recently started watching "Steps/The Whole City is Dancing 舞動全城" a TVB production when I went to see A Mei at Mohegan Sun on the bus. I luckily that night asked my mom about it. Well luck would have it, she had just rented it. So she is going to let me watch it before returning to her video store rental place. I am very behind on TVB productions. Growing up I watched a lot of them but not anymore.

I find it cool they have Chinese Characters when they have the dramas as I can practice my reading and I am glad I understand Cantonese too.

So far I have watched three episodes. I love anything related to dancing. There is ball room dancing so that has kept my interest. The characters in this drama are alright but it is the dancing I like the best in this drama.

SYNOPSIS (wikipedia)
Exotic Salsa, Fussy CHA CHA CHA,
Flirtatious Tango, A Mixture of Dancing Harmony

Ballroom dancing emphasizes rhythm and mutual trust between the partners. If we can apply the same philosophy to our daily communication practices, we are likely to find ourselves in greater harmony and our lives will surely be enriched.

Dance lover Lee Sum Ying (Bernice Liu) is going to audition for a place in the Hong Kong Dance Company. Before the audition starts, she bumps into her brother Lee Lik Keung (Wayne Lai) and his colleague Ching Ka Tsun (Steven Ma) at a supermarket, where she is accidentally run over by Tsun’s trolley and hurts herself. Due to her arm injury, Ying does not perform well in the audition and fails the assessment. At the invitation of Tsun’s mother, Ying goes to teach Latin dance at a local community center, in the hope that she can save up enough money for further studies abroad. Ying has a very warm personality and is well-liked by many of her students. Her popularity eventually lands her a teaching job at a dance workshop, which makes another dance tutor, Ching Ka Man (Fala Chen), incredibly jealous. Man dislikes Ying so much that she means to make things difficult for her in every possible way.

Yeung Sze Man (Kate Tsui), the daughter of Tsun’s boss, is appointed to take charge of the company. In order to improve staff morale, Man has announced a series of reforms. She needs her staff to learn dancing so that they can get more physical exercise. Ying is hired as the dance teacher of Tsun and his colleagues. Tsun, who has some knowledge in dancing, has soon resumed his interest in this expressive form of art. Ying and Tsun have gradually developed a close bond with each other and even decided to take part in an international dance competition as partners, but the pair’s relationship is put to the test when Tsun and Keung later fall out over business matters. The discord between the two men has put Ying in dilemma…
