About "Love at First Dance" from Hallmark Channel

* "Love at First Dance" first premiered on June 16, 2018.

* Mark Jean directed "Love at First Dance." Mark as 65 directing credits including, most recently, "Holiday Hotline" from 2023. His directing career dates back to 1985 where his first directorial project was an episode of “Tales from the Darkside” - a horror anthology series.

* Nina Weinman wrote the script. Everyone knows Nina. She currently has 32 writing credits including "Catch Me If You Claus" from last year’s Countdown Christmas. She also wrote another movie starring Niall Matter - “Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Sweater” in 2020.

* Becca Tobin stars as Hope. Becca has just 15 acting credits but also appeared in 49 episodes of the FOX series "Glee" as Kitty Wilde. For Hallmark, she was most recently in "The Wedding Contract" from the summer of 2023.

* Fan favorite Niall Matter plays Eric. Niall currently has 64 acting credits. We last saw him in “Holiday Hotline” and as DJ Ginger Jeff in “A Santa Summit.”  We’d like to see Niall reprise his role as Jackson in the "Family History Mysteries" franchise.

* Cecilia Deacon plays fiancé Adrianna. Cecilia has 15 acting credits and appeared in “Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Home Again” and “A Timeless Christmas” for Hallmark. Also noteworthy, she has appeared in 2 episodes of the CW series “Nancy Drew” - BINGO.

* Call to add a square to the GGH BINGO card: Laura Soltis. Laura plays Leona. She appears in a lot of Hallmark movies and currently has 61 acting credits. We last saw her in “A Season for Family” during Countdown to Christmas. I’m ready for Laura to have a lead role for Hallmark. There aren’t enough roles for women of a certain age and Barbara Niven needs a vacation.

* Niall Matter told Media Village in 2018 that this movie was filmed in both Victoria, B.C. as well as New York, saying “No green screen, it was real!” Other filming location included the Royal Theatre in Victoria as well as the Empress Hotel.

* Filming took place from late April to early May 2018.

* IMDB ratings are kind of low for this movie with 6.5/10.
