Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights is a 2004 American musical romance film directed by Guy Ferland. This film is a "re-imagining" of the 1987 blockbuster Dirty Dancing, reusing the same basic plot, but transplanting it from upstate New York to Cuba on the cusp of the Cuban Revolution. Katey Miller , her parents , and her younger sister Susie arrive in Cuba during the Cuban revolution. A self-described bookworm, Katey is not very happy about having to move to a different country during her senior year of school as she had been planning to attend Radcliffe College; although, the rest of her family... seem extremely pleased to be in Cuba. Meeting several other rich American teenagers down by the pool including James Phelps , the son of her father's boss; Katey becomes disgusted when one of the teenagers insults a waiter when he accidentally knocks over some of their drinks. Katey attempts to talk to the waiter - Javier , who works at the hotel to support his family - because she feels awful about what had occurred but he is not interested.
