Dance Floor Dreams, Monday, BBC1 NI, 10.35pm

THIS locally produced documentary focuses on two couples to whom dance plays a major part in their lives.
Rahmi Akoyl is Northern Ireland's self-styled King of Salsa and the film follows his efforts, with his new Maltese partner, Maria Camilleri, to get to the finals of the BBC's Strictly Dance Fever.
The other pair, Tom and Sally chart their love affair with each other and with ballroom dancing over the guts of 16 years.
The main problem here is that there are two films struggling to get out and neither of them, really, manages it.
If the production is intended to describe the dreams and passions that dancing can inspire in general, then we need to see more than these two very different partnerships.
We need more cement to glue the thing together.
Either that or make two films - one featuring Tom and Sally, which would be sweet and nostalgic, and one with Rahmi and Maria, full of passion and frustrated ambition.
Rahmi, who is Kurdish, arrived in Northern Ireland 12 years ago, set up a successful business and then gave it all up for his love of dance. Maria is a student, from Malta, who has the formal training in Latin American and ballroom dancing that Rahmi lacks.
We follow them through the first round of Belfast auditions for Strictly Dance Fever and discover, once they make it to the London auditions (the last 25) whether they will make the finals.
They train like Trojans, they fall out in front of the judges and have spectacular rows both off and on camera. Rahmi has the passion and raw talent while Maria has the technique.
At the end, they fail, but Rahmi decides he will leave Northern Ireland for London and get himself properly trained. His dreams and fierce ambition are undimmed.
If this pair had had the luxury of an entire documentary to themselves, there might have been more space for a hard-headed assessment of Rahmi's chances of making it.
We are not told how old he is but he certainly looks, from where I'm sitting, a tad long in the tooth to begin training as a professional dancer.
