Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights

Details

Have the time of your life all over again with the fantastically romantic Dirty Dancing 2.

The sequel to the phenomenon that is Dirty Dancing tells a timeless story of a young woman's discovery of fun, love, sensuality and independence - with a sizzling style and rhythm all its own. Full of spectacular dance moves and wonderful toe-tapping Cuban music - Dirty Dancing 2, out to own and rent on DVD and video from 22nd November 2004, is perfect for every girl out there who has ever fallen in love.

Set in the glamorous world of the US ex-pat community of 1950's Cuba, Dirty Dancing 2 re-imagines the 1987 film phenomenon from an exciting new perspective. It's a story of a lonely 17-year-old American girl (Romola Garai) who moves to Cuba, months before the Revolution, with her parents. Bookish and awkward, Katey is expected to join the smart set of American teenagers who are her family's neighbours at the exclusive Oceana Hotel. But Katey finds herself drawn instead to the proud, purposeful Javier (Diego Luna), a handsome waiter who also happens to be a brilliant dancer.

Determined to learn his slinky, spectacular moves, sparks begin to fly between them and Katey persuades him to partner with her in a prestigious national dance competition at Havana's glittering casino, The Palace. Soon, the straight-A student is deceiving her parents and stealing away both day and night to discover a different side of Cuba with Javier. They meet at the steamy nightclub La Rosa Negra, where only the locals go and where the dancing is hotter than the temperature outside. As the night of the contest finally arrives, Katey and Javier are ready to take their place as a team on the dance floor, but the coming revolution may spell trouble for the couple's romantic plans.

Diego Luna (Frida, The Terminal) sparkles with charisma, lighting up every one of his scenes and gifted young actress Romola Garai (I Capture the Castle) is wonderful as the wayward 17 year old breaking the rules and finding her freedom.

Whether you are a fan of the first Dirty Dancing or this is a whole new experience for you - Dirty Dancing 2 will plunge you into a world of bright colour, vibrant music and intense emotion, and you will love every minute of it. Be the first to own the salsa spectacular that is Dirty Dancing 2 on DVD this November.
