Bailando con Margot (2015)
Arturo Santana turns Cuba’s national dance into a noir storytelling device: Margot’s danzón with the detective opens successive layers of her life and of pre-revolutionary Havana, making the dance carry both seduction and testimony rather than decorate the 1958 mystery.
Bailando con Margot is a 2015 dance feature film centred on ballroom and social dance. For dancers, it's a chance to see the style performed on screen — the phrasing, partnering, and musicality that the same dances carry onto a real floor.

The detective dances Danzón with Margot

Edwin Fernández's detective and Mirtha Ibarra's Margot sharing the film's title Danzón.
The Danzón does narrative work: the investigation becomes embodied rapport, letting the pair's movement open the house and family's layered history rather than functioning as an isolated musical diversion.
