Just dance

     Despite their different dancing styles and frustrations the two find a way of meeting in the middle. Katie continues to hide the relationship she has with Javier because of the disagreement it would cause. As time passes Javier opens up to Katie telling her that his father was taken from their home one night by Batista’s police under suspicion of being a revolutionary. Due to all the political unrest in Cuba, Javier proclaims that if they win the contest, he will bring his family to America. The final tweak to their routine comes when the dance teacher informs Katie that she has to connect with her fear of this Latin dancing in order to be able to move to the music. That is when she lets go of everything and begins to dance with such passion you could almost feel it.
