Dance of my heart 80 Minutes/2007- Cuba (*Coproduction: USA, Canada) English & Spanish w/ English subtitles
Directed by/Dirigido por: Ricardo Acosta.
The co-creator of Cuban classical ballet and the choreographer of Carmen Suite is ninety years old, healthy, and vibrant. Working every day at a community college in north Florida, he teaches kids how to dance with the same passion he had all his life, working with some of the most important ballet dancers of the twentieth century. Ricardo Acostas Dance of my heart is a sensitive, well documented portrait of the Cuban dancer/choreographer Alberto Alonso.
The film is not only an ode to the nester of classical Cuban dance, but also an ode to the power of art, love, and beauty that will not succumb to the power of time.
