“Dirty Dancing II” is a mix of culture, politics, love and dance music. It’s a romantic drama.

Directed by Guy Ferland and written by Kate Gunzinger and Peter Sagal. It is brilliantly played by Cuban actors in the original country in 1958, mainly focused on Latin rhythm.

It starts when an American family decides to go to Cuba on business before the Revolution that takes Fidel Castro to the summit of power. As Katey (Romola Garai) arrives in Cuba, she feels drawn to participate in a dancing competition that was taking place in the hotel where she was staying with her parents. The dance class instructor is the well known Patrick Swayze (from the original “Dirty Dancing”).Her parents push her to the well-to-do social surroundings. In spite of all that, they couldn’t avoid her dates with Javier Suarez (Diego Luna), the restaurant employer. A love story begins as well as Castro’s Revolution and the American family is forced to leave Cuba. They won the competition but not the “cause”. In the end, Katey reveals that it wasn’t the last dance of their lives.

I recommend it because I’m sure that people who like music, dancing, and Latin rhythms will feel close to this story. I loved it because I can’t imagine how many people in the world have experienced something like this. I’m a “love at first sight” and a “forbidden love” fan!
