What Is Hallmark’s The Dancing Detective: A Deadly Tango About?

What do we know about this new mystery? According to the Hallmark synopsis, Aston International’s CEO is murdered at a luxury hotel in Malta. This is right before the company event, and they believe the killer is at the event.

Enter Detective Constance Bailey. While she is talented at her job, she is not a team player. Her inability to work with others has kept her from achieving any sort of career advancement. Now, she is forced to work with someone else because she needs to go undercover, but cannot dance. She needs to work with dance instructor Sebastian Moore.

While she is tightly wound and stuffy, he is the polar opposite. Sebastian is a delight, as he glides his body across the dance floor, and uses his beautiful voice to coax out perfect dance moves.

Now, Constance and Sebastian have to pretend to be a married couple, as they sleuth around. Although Sebastian is not a professional sleuth, he knows people and he knows body language. It turns out he is an asset to Detective Bailey.

But, can she learn to trust her partner?

In turn, Lacey Chabert shared several photos from the new Hallmark movie to her own Instagram page, sharing her enthusiasm for working with her “good friend” Will Kemp once again. In addition, she shared a photo of the two of them, as well as their choreography team.

She wrote, “Huge thank you to the amazing choreography team for #TheDancingDetective @jmgenereux @cmillettedancer & @brendaleegrech Not only are you all the most talented, but you’re also the most kind. The past two weeks of dancing and laughing with you have been the best!”

Christmas Waltz fans will surely remember Jean Marc Genereux. He was the choreographer for that Will Kemp and Lacey Chabert Countdown To Christmas classic. It should be delightful to see what he comes up with in this new movie.
