Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! / Cedar Lee / Pacific East

About this event

It is not very often that a Japanese movie comes to town. Don't be fooled by the title. It is a drama about grief, with some comedy. DESCRIPTION Haru and Luis love competing in Tokyo’s ballroom dance scene, but after tragedy strikes, Haru withdraws into isolation. When friends coax her back to the studio, she develops an infatuation with the new instructor. She must face what comes next as sparks fly.
