Nick of Time

Melanie is a dancer-the most unlikely dancer in the world, a woman who has had a hard life, wait­ress­ing, rais­ing a son alone, putting up with an abu­sive hus­band. Late in life, she decides to pur­sue one dream, a dream she can’t afford, which her hus­band opposes: she will become a skilled ball­room dancer, mov­ing to the old love songs that have never applied to her life. And she wants to learn to lead! As she takes lessons, scrapes up the money to pay for cos­tumes, and pre­pares for her first com­pe­ti­tion, she faces increas­ing oppo­si­tion. But she per­sists, enter­ing the glam­orous, demand­ing world of pro­fes­sional danc­ing with an inno­cence and a deter­mi­na­tion that will change her life.
