Cuban Dancer

Alexis dreams of becoming the best Cuban dancer, but before he can dance through the National Ballet School in Havana, life brings him an unexpected change: his parents decide to leave Cuba. This is the emotional story of a talented young dancer who suddenly leaves the safety of home in Cuba for the USA – a world of tough competition but also open possibilities. This sensitive portrait of a beautiful but painful adolescence, coloured with Cuban temperament, plays out against the backdrop of two different approaches to life: the Cuban warm community one and the very individualised US one. Can Alexis follow his dream even in a new society? (One World)
