London Latino Film Festival 2026
Life is Dance follows the stories of six main protagonists, across 3 generations. Ordinary Cubans with one thing in common, their love of dance.
Marta and Félix are nostalgic for the dance halls of old but still dance whenever they can. Damaris and Gusmel, are leaders of a small town dance group, it means everything to them to win the annual dance competition. Teenagers Lachy and Dayan would love to be professional dancers, if only they could just dance reggaeton and not have to learn the ‘old people’s dances.’ Full colour and music, disappointment and joy, we join these charismatic characters on their journey.
