I'm almost ashamed to admit that until last Sunday, I had never watched the sequel to Dirty Dancing. Havana Nights is fantastic! It epitomises the essence of Street Latin dance - I personally prefer free-style night club dancing to structured studio lessons. That's just a preference.
Patrick Swayze plays a cameo role as a dance instructor at the hotel. You'll enjoy this one if you liked Dirty Dancing 1. Plot summary from wikipedia.com:
Shy, intelligent, eighteen-year-old Katey Miller moves from United States to Havana, Cuba with her parents in November, 1958, right before the Revolution breaks out. Her parents expect her to move within their well-to-do circles, but she defies their wish when she falls in love with Javier Suarez, a waiter who also happens to be a talented dancer. Secretly meeting in a Havana nightclub, the pair practice their Mambo dance routine in preparation for a prestigious national dance competition. However, Katie's parents are ex-professional dancers who trained her in ballroom dancing, whereas Javier has been trained in the titular Cuban style of dirty dancing, and the two must reconcile the differences between their styles if they are to win. Things become more heated when the coming revolution spells trouble for the pair's plans. When the Revolution breaks out,Katey and Javier go to a beach tent and they make love. The day after, Katey finds out that she has to leave Cuba. On their last night in Havana together, Katey and Javier share a night full of dancing before they say goodbye.
