He worked for a month with the actors to make sure they look credible as dancers. Angel is a well known Tango and salsa dancer from NYC.

As far as the scene it was shot in silhouette. If you see the film you will find that in the salsa dancing scenes we started with a night shoot and the scenes after that got brighter and brighter. The italian director Federico Fellini once said that films are light. I agree, as a director the use light and darkness in a film is very important. You can’t just leave that to chance.
