Book to Screen
🎄 Big News: The Christmas Dance Contest Is Coming to Hallmark! 🎄
I’m absolutely thrilled to share a dream-come-true announcement with you:
My novel The Christmas Dance Contest is being adapted into a Hallmark Movie Original!
It still feels surreal to write those words. What began as a quiet idea in my notebook—a story about love, healing, and dancing beneath the snow—is now taking its first steps onto the screen. And I couldn’t be more grateful or excited.
But before the movie premieres, I’d love for you to experience the heart of this story the way it was first written—through the pages of the book.
📖 Read the book before it hits the screen
Set in the cozy mountain town of Winterberry Peak, Colorado, The Christmas Dance Contest follows Tiffany Grimes, a former ballet dancer returning home after ten years away. Hoping to open her own studio and rebuild her life, Tiffany finds herself face-to-face with old wounds—and one familiar face she can’t seem to forget.
John Morton is a devoted single dad and beloved local baker who’s quietly tucked away his own dreams of dancing again. When a Christmas Dance Contest pairs him with Tiffany, the two must learn to move in step—not just on the dance floor, but in life.
With holiday magic in the air, twinkling lights on every street, and the warmth of community all around them, Tiffany and John begin to rediscover the rhythm of something beautiful: a second chance at love.
🎬 A story full of heart
This is a book about more than romance—it's about rebuilding, forgiving, and trusting the quiet tug of hope that often comes when we least expect it. It's about community, Christmas, and the gentle power of showing up for one another.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of sweet holiday stories or just looking for a feel-good read to lift your spirits, I hope The Christmas Dance Contest brings you joy, warmth, and a little bit of that Hallmark magic.
💌 Available now wherever books are sold—read it before the movie airs!
Thank you for being part of this journey. I can’t wait for you to visit Winterberry Peak, fall in love with Tiffany and John, and maybe even get inspired to dance a little yourself.
Stay tuned for more updates on the movie release date and behind-the-scenes fun!
With joy,
Luis Ammerman
