Together they want to take part in a dance competition so that Javier can support his family with the prize money and possibly emigrate to the USA . But the Cuban revolution is getting closer and closer. While the two get closer and closer and fall in love, there is an uproar with Katey's parents. After a discussion comes the big dance finale. But during their grand entrance there is a revolution. Katey's family has to flee back to the USA. Katey would like to stay with Javier in Cuba, but in the end she decides to return with the family.
Related to dirty dancing
In name only, the film is a continuation of the 1987 film Dirty Dancing , neither the plot nor the people are related to the older film. In a short supporting role, Patrick Swayze , the star from the first film, appears as a dance teacher.
A connection can only be made loosely because of the similar plot: two young people from different backgrounds and from different cultural backgrounds come together in dance, fall in love and overcome belonging to their social classes in dance.
Reviews
“New edition of the almost 18-year-old successful film 'Dirty Dancing', which adheres closely to the guidelines and uses social and political backgrounds only as an exotic backdrop. The leading actress can impressively convey her joy in dancing, but she is unable to support the film, whose conflicts seem overly artificial. "
“The new edition flopped wrongly: The music is great, and the actors can do more than just dance. [...] Feel-good movie with hot rhythms. "
“The political background is as superfluous as a goiter; Any action, no matter how exciting, would interfere between the hot dance and love scenes. Perfect equipment, attractive, talented leading actors, a lot of heartache, cool fifties styling and a step-sure Patrick Swayze as a guest: with Cuba Libre and nachos the right cinema prelude for a long salsa night. [...] Not as sappy as the cult original, but the dance scenes are much hotter. "
Others
In April 2006, Wyclef Jean put the soundtrack Dance like this on again with Shakira under the title Hips Don't Lie . In part, the text has also been taken literally, for example: Baila en la calle de noche - baila en la calle de día! ( Spanish: dance on the street at night - dance on the street during the day! ). If that was true in the film in relation to the streets of Havana , the streets of Barranquilla ( Colombia ) are now sung about in the same way in the cover version .
