"(♪ "Satellite" by Santana featuring Jorge Moreno)" "(girl) November 1958, my senior year of high school." "While other girls were dancing to Elvis and dreaming about prom dates," "I was reading Jane Austen and dreaming about college." "And then my parents announced we were moving to Cuba... in a week." "♪ Baby, I'm gonna make you step outside" "♪ The corners of your world and find" "♪ That if you let your heart open up your mind" "♪ There's a whole new world" "♪ On the other side..." "Slamming doors and giving the silent treatment couldn't change that, but it was easier than admitting I was really scared." "At least everyone else was happy." "Dad got his big promotion from Ford," "Mom got to travel in style, and Susie, I swear that girl could adjust in a hurricane." "♪ So what divides" "♪ From the bittersweetness love provides?" "♪ I will redefine my place within this union" "♪ For what is a lie?" "♪ And the better me can't show its side" "♪ I will try to find my way to higher ground" "♪ Oh" "♪ There's a million stories" "♪ And a million ways to get there from here" "♪ Baby, I'm gonna put your skin on mine" "♪ Be inside you all my life" "♪ But if you let your heart open up your mind" "♪ There's a whole new world on the other side" "♪ I'm gonna be your satellite" "♪ And I'll hang over your world at night" "♪ And I can hear you sleep beneath the candlelight" "♪ I can see your dreams like they were mine" "Not too shabby, huh?" "Here's what I know about Cuba." "My high-school French wasn't going to help me." "I didn't know a single person." "and though no one would talk about it..." "Fidel Castro was leading the people in a revolution against President Batista." "Not that you would know it from this place." "♪ Sitting here and wondering what it's all about..." "This is Cuba." "Nobody cares what you do here." " Susie, you want a smoke?" " Watch out." "She's a bad influence." " I'll take that as a compliment." " She'll have you ditching classes."

" It's not." " Don't worry about it." "It's OK." " I'm sorry for what she called you." " That was nothing." " Not to me." " Then why are you apologizing?" " You guys were so good." " Your mother was good." "I was..." "OK." " Dad?" " Hm?" "I'm sorry I haven't been excited about all of this." "Sweetheart, it's OK." "Senior year is a terrible time to drag you out of school."

"No." "You know that it's ballroom dancing." "It's not what I do." "It's Latin ballroom." "If we mix what you do with what I do, I really think we'd have something." " I still have to teach you everything." " Not everything." "I'll have to teach you a few things too." "Hm." "Can we do this?" "(Latin music)" "What?" " What are you doing?" " Just dancing." "But this is a routine." "You can'tjust do what you feel like..." " When I dance I have no routine." " But this is a contest." " We need a structure." " Can I see that?" "Huh!" "First you learn to move and then we'll worry about lists and words." " How do you call this?" " Your hips." "Move your hips." "A circle." "Come on." "Come on, a circle." "That's a box." "What, are you crazy?" "Why should I cover for you?" "You want me to tell them what happened?" " Well, hello there." " Mom." "We're heading over for lemonade." "Care to join us?" "No." "No." " We'll take a rain check." " OK." "You two have fun." "I'm gonna help Javier and you're gonna help me." "♪ Guajira" "♪ I love you too much... (Katey) Your frame's really weak." " Better?" " I could do without the bruises, thanks." "I can fit another couple between us." "It's not gonna be a crowded club." "We've gotta sweep across the dance floor." "OK, I can sweep." "What are you doing?" "Your steps are too big." "I'm sweeping." " How's it going with James?" " I've got homework to do." "You know what, sweetie?" "I've been wanting to ask you if you have any questions or concerns." "You know, about you and James." "♪ Guajira..." "It's like dancing with my mother's ironing board." " Close your eyes." " Why?" "Just do it." "♪ I love you too much..." "It's awkward to talk about, but it's important you not let a boy pressure you." "Even if you have certain feelings when you're with James, feelings that you aren't used to having... (Latin music)" "Whoa!" "God!" "Do you have to be such a guy?" "OK." "OK, I'll be the girl." "A decision that you make now, the choices you make, could affect your whole life." " Do you understand what I'm saying?" " Mm-hm." "You do?" "Oh." "♪ I love you too much" "♪ Guajira" "♪ I love you too much" "I didn't wanna waste the music." "No, of course not." "What's the problem?" "Why are you so afraid to let me lead you?" "I'm not." "You are." "When you're ready to say you're afraid, let me know." " Hey!" " Sorry." "No, no, no, stay." "I'm almost done anyway." "So what did you decide?" " I entered the contest." " All right." "Good for you." "So how's it going?" "Oh, great." "It's going great." " Really?" " No, it's not." "God, I must have been crazy to think we could do this." "It's in two weeks and whenever he pushes, I pull, and I'm flowing and I'm being free and I'm making a circle and I'm not an ironing board anymore and it's still not working." "And now he says "You're afraid."" " Are you?" " No." "That's too bad." "Come here." "Un momento." "Stand right here." "Let me see your frame." "Good." "A little pressure." "Mm-hm." "So where did you learn this?" " My parents." "They were dancers." " Really?" "Relax." "Yes." "Drop your arms." "Breathe." "Now just basic." "Good." "What did you mean when you said "That's too bad"?" "If you can't move through your fear and connect with yourself, there's absolutely no way you're gonna connect with your partner." "Listen to me." "I know that it's scary as hell to let another person touch that part of you." "But if you do, it's worth it." "Now forget everything I just said and dance." "(Latin music)" "The floor's yours." "I'll see you." "OK, I am." "You're what?" "Afraid." "(Javier) So the movement has to be fluid, like the water." "Afro-Cuban dance, it's the dance of slaves." "When they danced, it was their only time to feel free." "So they could be a bird, you know, or do a flamenco step and make fun of their owners." "Or just be in the sea instead of being stuck on an island away from home." "It's a dance about being exactly who you wanna be in that moment." "It has to feel and look as natural as the waves." "Coming... and going." "Coming..." "We were having dinner and there was a knock on the door." "Suddenly two policemen were taking my father away." "The traitor could have been anyone." "Batista has his spies everywhere." "That's the thing, you know." "My father never hurt anybody." "He was just a freethinker." "Someone didn't like his thoughts." "We had a funeral but we never found his body." "Carlos disappeared for a while, afraid he would be next." "Then this girl shows up with a baby, says it's his and she cannot afford it, and suddenly I'm in charge of my whole family." "Maybe it's not what you want for yourself, but you are making a difference." "There's a revolution out there and what am I doing?" "Just painting stolen cars and baby-sitting..." "No, you're keeping your family alive." "That's the most important thing you could do." "If we could really win this contest, maybe I could bring my family to America with us." "Your parents, they're... they're perfect." "You see how much they wanna be in each other's arms?" "For us to dance together, I mean really dance, that's how it has to be." "(slow Latin music)" "(door closes)" "Don't let us interrupt you." " No, we were just..." " Yeah, we saw." "Listen, we have more stuff in the alley if you want to do something useful, Javier." "I should get home." "Thanks for stopping by." "It's half an hour before curfew." " What did you do, join the circus?" " Uh-huh." "You gonna tell me you were out with James?" "That's what you told your mother." "I never told her what Susie said." "Susie was wrong." " OK." " Good night, Dad." "Hi." "How long you gonna be mad at me?" "The girls here..." "I told Lois that I liked Jane Eyre and she asked me what movie she was in." "I'm really sorry that I told on you." "And what I said about Javier, I was wrong." " You gotta think for yourself, Suse." " I know." "I miss you." "Well, I've been dying to tell you." "Can you keep a secret this time?" "♪ I ain't come to fight tonight" "♪ Too many ladies up in here tonight" "♪ Everybody report to the dance floor;" "please!" "Grab a girl!" "♪ I never really knew that you could dance like this" "♪ She make her man wanna speak Spanish" "♪ ¿ Cómo se llama, bonita?" "♪ Mi casa, su casa" "♪ The way you move, you got me hypnotized" "♪ Especially when I look into his eyes" "♪ Hey, Papi, I wanna see you do the dance to the conga" "♪ Hey, girl, I can see your body moving" "♪ And it's driving me crazy" "♪ And I didn't have the slightest idea until I saw you dancing" "♪ And when you walk up on the dance floor" "♪ Nobody could ignore the way you move your body, girl" "♪ And everything so unexpected, the way you right and left it" "♪ So you could keep on digging it" "♪ Baila la calle de noche, baila la calle de día" "♪ I never really knew that you could dance like this" "♪ She make her man wanna speak Spanish" "♪ ¿ Cómo se llama, bonita?" "♪ Mi casa, su casa" "♪ The way you move, you got me hypnotized" "♪ Especially when I look into his eyes" "♪ Hey, Papi, I wanna see you do the dance to the conga" "♪ Hey, boy, now that I see your new rhythm I 'm in a state of shock now" "♪ The way I can see your body moving and I don't want you to stop now" "♪ I like the way you approach me so sensually" "♪ You got me in a daze, boy" "♪ I can't ignore the way you're dancing" "♪ You got me in a trance and I can't explain it" "♪ Señorita, feel the conga" "♪ Let me see you move like you come from Havana" "♪ Oh, I didn't know you did it like that" "♪ Hey, you, Papi, don't you stop it" "♪ I wanna see you move your body" "♪ Oh, I didn't know you did it like that" "♪ I never really knew that you could dance like this" "♪ She make her man wanna speak Spanish" "♪ ¿ Cómo se llama, bonita?" "♪ Mi casa, su casa" "♪ The way you move, you got me hypnotized" "♪ Especially when I look into his eyes" "♪ Hey, Papi, I wanna see you do the dance to the conga" "(material rips)" "Coño." "Where are you going?" "It's Christmas Eve." "Mom said you were working tonight." "Come here." "I need your suit." "What for?" "I'm in a dance contest." " Where?" " The Palace." "And you want my suit from Dad's funeral?" "To go to Batista's playground?" "I want to win $5,000 on New Year's Eve." "Wiggling your ass for all the American big shots." "Cuban big shots, too." "Susie, your mother and I have some very disappointing news." "I know you love to decorate the Christmas tree and sing carols and watch home movies, but I'm afraid tonight We're all gonna have to go to the Palace." " All of us?" " Yes, Susie, all of us." "I know it's your big night with James, but could you save your old man one dance?" " When did this happen?" " You know your father." "Blabs to everyone we were dancers." "So the Phelpses invited us to the Latin ballroom contest, where I hear the dancing is pretty good, but your mother and I'll be looking out for mistakes." "(Latin ballroom music)" "I can't wait to see the looks on your parents' faces." "Don't remind me." "I really should be scolding you for keeping her out till all hours." "Don'tworry, ma'am." "We've done nothing you'd disapprove of." "I can promise that." "(singing in Spanish)" " Thank you." " Here." "You two make a very cute couple." "So many ofthe girls coming over from the States these days get a little, you know, wild." "You're lucky to have such lovely daughters." "(man) Ladies and gentlemen, merry Christmas." "In just a few moments we'll begin this evening's special event." "So when do we get to see the championship dancers?" " Oh, We're hardly champions." " Oh, you'rejust being modest." "Come on, I've never seen you guys dance in public before." "I thought that if your husband didn't mind, you and I might..." "Oh." "James, maybe Katey would like to dance." "Would you like to dance?" "I have to find the ladies' room." " I'll escort you." " No, I'm fine." "(singing in Spanish)" " Where have you been?" " Sorry." "This is a crazy idea." "We're gonna win."
