Great comments as always Richiev. You understand the concept well and also the conundrum of not being like past films.
NatureBucket, the fact they come from such similar worlds is the obstacle. it is like Romeo & Juliette.
You haven?t given them any obstacles or anything to overcome. Why does it matter that they?ve become an incredible dance duo? What are their goals?
Are they trying to win a competition and use the prize money to buy grandma?s house back from the IRS? Do they have to beat Shooter McGavin... I mean, some jerk nemesis, to do it??
This is a very interesting idea that many options for potential.
Just a couple of suggestions:
-More description of the Chicano male (eg. a reckless and unrefined Chicano youth)
*This will create more character contrast with the cultured Salsa Dancer
-Identify the circumstances in which the two characters (eg. At a latin dance festival or a night-club event or could be something as simple as a friend's birthday party)
-Create the stakes in which the story takes place.
*This is perhaps the most IMPORTANT part of your logline.
Why do these characters 'from two dissimilar worlds collide' form an incredible dance together?
To answer this, Place your characters an environment that DISAPPROVES their relationship.
An example of this, the dance movie 'Shall we dance' (original Japanese version) is about a Stiff Accountant who falls a mysterious Dance Instructor that he spots on the train back home.He decides to take a chance and goes to her dance studio for lessons. Here, the premise captures the audience's attention because the Character's relationship is disproved by the conservative Japanese modern society surrounding them. This is made possible because of the stakes raised.
