Constance Bailey is a tenacious New York State police detective but she prefers to work alone. She's sent to Malta where the CEO of a global ballroom dancing company was murdered on the eve of his company's corporate dance competition. Sergeant Ana Spiteri, her local liaison with Interpol, informs her that she'll have to investigate undercover as a contestant of this competition. The problem is that Constance can't dance so she must collaborate with Sebastian Moore, a charismatic and free-spirited British dance instructor who will pose as her husband.
Constance Bailey is played by American actress Lacey Chabert (Mean Girls, Party of Five), one of Hallmark's most popular stars. She did more than 30 TV movies with the network since 2010. This includes five Crossword Mysteries between 2019 and 2021. English actor and dancer Will Kemp (Reign), who co-starred in five films for Hallmark, plays Sebastian Moore. Directed by Stefan Scaini (Moriah's Lighthouse, Christmas at Castle Hart), The Dancing Detective: A Deadly Tango reunites Lacey Chabert and Will Kemp after Love, Romance and Chocolate (2019) and The Christmas Waltz (2020). Kemp developed the project with Aubrey Day, who wrote the script.
The Dancing Detective: A Deadly Tango is a joyful, classy and highly entertaining whodunnit illuminated by the undeniable chemistry between its two talented stars. The dialogues (with nods to some classic TV sleuths) are very funny, the Malta locations are mandatorily gorgeous and the dance scenes are splendid. The choreographer of this movie is none other than Jean-Marc Généreux, the French Canadian ballroom dance champion, choreographer and judge for hit TV shows Révolution, Danse avec les Stars and So You Think You Can Dance. He also did the choreography of The Christmas Waltz.
