We’re going from hockey to the world of competitive dancing in our obsessions. 10 Dance, and adaptation of the manga of the same name, is coming to Netflix this week, and we’re already obsessed. The movie follows two rival dancers who team up for a competition, and then sparks fly. Sign us up for this rivals-to-lovers!
Tropes aside, the world of competitive dancing seems like the perfect place for a story such as this one. And hey, we won’t complain about more LGBTQ+ stories! Give us all. Or, you know, give us more. Give us everything.

Synopsis
Here’s the synopsis for the movie:
Shinya Suzuki (Ryoma Takeuchi) is the Japanese champion of Latin Dance, while Shinya Sugiki (Keita Machida) is the Japanese champion and second-ranked dancer in Standard Ballroom in the world. They are often compared to each other because of their similar names despite dancing in different categories, which frustrates the competitive Suzuki. One day, Suzuki receives a surprise when Sugiki asks him to team up and win the 10-Dance Competition. The 10-Dance is a competition in which top dancers perform five varieties of Latin Dance and five varieties of Standard Ballroom. Knowing how difficult it would be, Suzuki initially rejects Sugiki’s proposal to teach each other their respective styles and compete on the world stage, but Sugiki’s provocative attitude sparks Suzuki’s competitive spirit and spurs him to begrudgingly accept.The two men’s opposite personalities clash as they devote themselves to daily lessons, but they grow steadily closer over time. Before long, Suzuki realizes he has started developing a romantic attraction to Sugiki.
