La bailanta (English: The Dancing Hall) is a 1988 Argentine musical film directed and written by Luis Rodrigo.
Plot
The movie takes place in Argentina's capital Buenos Aires, shown to be a bustling metropolis that draws poorer Argentines from rural regions who are looking for improved economic prospects. A group of poor migrants to the big city fall on hard times when they experience an unforeseen crisis, leading them to move to a shantytown. In their desperate situation, they encounter the vibrant world of "bailanta", a lively scene of working-class dance halls, which becomes their sanctuary and a means of escapism from their harsh reality.
