West Side Story meets Dangerous Liaisons with a dash of Tarantino. The Wedding Dance is a passionate love story with dance and music, where the movement and energy of salsa drives a fiery and explosive story. Set in the intense, hot environment of salsa dance clubs and the sensual surroundings of life in Havana, The Wedding Dance is a seductive story of aspiration and betrayal. Cuban immigrant José is a modern Don Juan and magnificent dancer. With few opportunities on the horizon and growing increasingly embittered in his isolation from his homeland, he exploits his talent for teaching the most passionate dance of them all - the salsa - becoming a serial seducer and betrayer surrounded by women who want to be with him and men who want to be like him. At a dance competition, José is approached by Miranda, a young bride-to-be. Choosing to shake off her unadventurous image by dancing the salsa as the first dance at her wedding, she wants José to teach her. Miranda s virginal innocence is irresistible - but tragically it may prove to be one seduction too far...| Author | Felix Cross |
