Ten Dance

Based on Inoue Sato's manga of the same name, this film follows two men devoted to dance, depicting their passion, struggles, jealousy, and love. Shinya Suzuki (Takeru Satoh) is the Japanese Latin dance champion; Shinya Sugiki (Keita Machida), known as the Emperor, is the Japanese ballroom champion and world No. 2. One day, Sugiki appears before Suzuki and invites him to compete in the Ten Dance Championship, which requires mastery of five Latin and five ballroom dances, all in a single day—a true test of endurance and willpower. Together, they train at Sugiki's studio with their partners Aki Tajima (Shiori Doi) and Fusako Yagami (Anna Ishii). Despite clashing over their contrasting lifestyles and personalities, they gradually come to understand each other's dance styles and draw closer emotionally.
