This is a film that's near and dear to my heart. I was always one of those kids at the parties, a little embarrassed to dance or impress the girl I liked when her favorite song would come on. Being Dominican and a filmmaker, to me, these stories don't often get shared on screen. I was in love with movies like "Dirty Dancing" and the "Step-Up" franchise. The world of dance in many ways brings us together. Often people fall in love through it as well. "Bailando" is a love story about two twenty-something Dominicans who begin to fall in love through the musical genre of Bachata. This is a love letter to my family, my friends, and the people whose day gets a whole lot better when they are at the party and Aventura comes on. We hope you enjoy this film and remember to have fun when watching this story unfold. Thank you.
