Bagels meet bongos in this joyous documentary telling the surprising story of Jewish dancers who fell in love with the Cuban mambo in the 1950s, sparking a dance craze that swept the nation. This group of free-spirited dancers earned a nickname: The Mamboniks. It's a lovely story of building bridges between cultures and communities enhanced by great archival footage, and the film is guaranteed to get your hips swaying.

Directed by Lex Gillespie, director of “The Catskills.” In addition, UAlbany professor Jose Cruz, a Latin music expert, will provide commentary after the film.
