Summary of Baila Conmigo
The story is set in the late 1950's in the greaser era, around the time of The Beatles and the birth of Rock and Roll. Pilar, youthful and popular, falls for ambitious, adventure-seeking Bruno. But less-attractive Andrea, her best friend, wants him for herself and sets out to get him. Although Bruno is more attracted to Pilar, he strings both girls along. On the other hand, Eddy, an aspiring singer, is truly in love with Pilar, yet when she chooses Bruno, he steps aside. Using her father's name as owner of a radio station, Andrea offers to help make Bruno a star, at which point he dumps Pilar, leaving her broken and humiliated. Pilar turns to Eddy and they get engaged. Just before the wedding, Bruno reappears, luring Pilar away and making Eddy believe that they had run off together. His heart broken for a second time, Eddy resolves to forget the love of his life. There are also others characters: German, who is Andrea's and Tomas's father, and Don Juan. He gets a crash on a sophisticated and superficial woman, but he will discover the real love in Lety, his secretary. Nelly Moll is an ex-actress and she doesn't resign herself to pass of the years. She forces her daughter to dress and to behave as a little girl so she doesn't feel old. Nelly hides a secret of her life, but Alfonso knows it and he blackmails her. "El tubito" is an usurer who lives badly. He is defaced by a scar on his face. Then there is Dona Refugio who is Eddy's and Rosario's mother, she is a bolero singer who lives in her husband's memory. Teresa, who is Pilar's mother is a big friend of her daughter.

"BAILA CONMIGO" REVIEW
thanks to Diego Plata Sanchez From Huamantla Tlaxcala, Mexico
Una de las mejores telenovelas que he visto. Todo estuvo perfecto empezando por el elenco como Biby Gaytán, Eduardo Capetillo, Rodrigo Vidal, Andrea Legarreta sin olvidar a Rafael Rojas que era el malvado bruno. La ambientación de epoca muy bien hecha, la ropa todo. El tema musical era interpretado por Eduardo Capetillo y recuerdo que pegó muchisimo en los jovenes. Sin duda alguna un gran exito juvenil ambientado en otra decada claro que tenía de todo escenas muy romanticas, escalofriantes, de suspenso de todo. Es verdad efectivamente que la una de las ultimas veces que se retransmitio fue en gems en 1997 con la misma calidad de siempre ¡Felicidades a la producción!

Este fue una de las mejores novelas hechas en Mexico, por su ambientacion de la epoca y excelente reparto liderado por Bibi Gaytan quien se lucio en su papel de Tania.

Me gusto mucho la ambientacion de los años 60s, el tema de entrada y su video fueron muy buenos. El tema decia "Ahora todos juntos vamos a bailar, quieres invitar una linda nena, porque este ritmo es especial, se mueve todo el cuerpo..."

Me encantan los anos sesenta, las crinolinas, el rock all roll y quisiera volver a ver la novela, y ahora deberian hacer una pero ambientada en los anos 70's con un tema de amor y otros.

UN INTENTO FALLIDO DE REPLICAR EL EXITO DE ALCANZAR UNA ESTRELLA, SIN EMBARGO EL CASTING ESTUVO MUY MAL AL SELECCIONAR CANTANTES QUE COMO ACTRICES DEJAN MUCHO QUE DESEAR... E.G..PAULINA RUBIO Y BIBI GAYTAN.

Esta telenovela me parecio excelente, y en realidad fue uno de los trampolines de Paulina Rubio a la fama (quien puede olvidar aquellos pateticamente actuados ataques de asma? jaja). Aqui el show se lo robaba Alexis Ayala. Excelente actor.

I watched this when I was 6 too and I remember I loved it. I have asked people if they remember this novela but no one remembers it :( Oh well but I hope they put it on again because it was a good story and Paulina Rubio was the most memorable character in this novela.
