Free Music Review: The Beauty of Love and the Beauty of the Dance
Hit: 5 Stars
"DD Havana Nights has it all: a coming-of-age tale of an attractive young couple; a setting of lush tropical nights and 20th-century political havoc; a cast that includes supportive parents (unusual in a story of young love) and dazzling singers, dancers and musicians from multicultural and multiracial backgrounds; and the sharp contrasts--softened in warm Caribbean colors--of the prevalent class consciousness and economic disparities--all of which frame the beauty of love and the beauty of the dance.
Our star-crossed lovers are Romala Garai's Katie Miller, a recently uprooted, brainy high school senior from the States, and Diego Luna's Havier Suarez, a wise young waiter shouldering the burden of supporting his family. Having inadvertently caused Havier to lose his job, Katie suggests they earn money by winning a dance contest. Her sassy sexiness and bright delight, along with his strength and passion surface in their dancing. Her movement and gestures mirror the physical joy and emotional willingness of an adventurous adolescent woman, his illustrate a strong restraint as well as a desire to embrace all that his partner offers. Both yearn for the physical freedom that will set them on the path to other freedoms--those of choice, opportunity, and hope for the future. And, both are supported by their families who are somewhat bemused by the situation.
This second DD has more of a global outreach with its Afro-Cuban rhythms and Latin ballroom scenes and with a 'disappeared' parent and a parent working for a multinational corporation. Havier's family's crowded inner city home is contrasted with the Miller family's spacious apartment. Spanish dialect and 1950s costuming bring reality to the story. Oceanside scenes--especially in a silky beach cabana--bring in the natural beauty of the setting and of the young lovers.
For those of us who feel forever connected to the long-lived DD#1, the revival of Patrick Swazee's role as a dance instructor is elegant. He provides a pause as Katie and Havier move through their steps, toward their final performance. He also provides the insights that allow the young lovers to get to know each other's bodies and figure out not only the dance but also their strengthening relationship. The tale moves toward a parting that is both sweet and sad. Katie and Havier, however, have danced the dance. They will always have the dance and the dancing as will we--the DD fans.

The movie is nothing without this soundtrack. The beat grips you, and pulls you into the music. My favorite song on this soundtrack is "Represent, Cuba" by the Orishas featuring Heather Headley. It has such rhythm, you can't help but be drawn into it.Free Music Review: it was great
