A Latinx dance movie is on its way! ‘The Way You Move’ will bring the rhythms of the street into the ballroom

The Latinx community rejoices! There’s another film on its way, and we can’t wait to see what the director, Alberto Belli, known for The House Of Flowers, has in store. As reported by Deadline, Belli is in charge of the film’s artistic and dramatic aspects.

The Way You Move is a Latinx dance movie that “follows an inner-city teenager who gets in trouble at school and is forced to serve detention in the ballroom dance club.” As reported by the publication, the teen later “discovers that he loves to dance, but he must overcome a family tragedy and the ridicule of his friends before he can bring the rhythms of the street into the ballroom and express his own unique style.”

According to the publication, filming is scheduled for fall 2021, under the original screenplay from Lynn Esta Goldman. The Way You Move is produced by Christopher Acebo and Jolene Rodriguez of Broken English Productions, plus Mitchell Peck and Darin Dusan. While Ruben Islas, Stanley Preschutti, and Frank Mayor are serving as executive producers.

“Alberto Belli is a monumental talent, and Broken English is excited to collaborate with him. Alberto has been on the forefront of innovative storytelling through his many television shows, commercials, music videos, and online platforms,” said Acebo, CEO of Broken English Productions. “We are thrilled at the prospect of him directing this uplifting, powerful, and inspiring movie!”
