This tutorial deals with the emotional stereotypes at play in Latin American competitive dancing. Dancers are often encouraged by their trainers to narrativise their Rumba choreography in order to give the routine emotional meaning and to touch the audience. The video shows them in the studio, performing a Rumba, while subtitles appear to comment on each figure.

At the beginning of the dance, they walk side by side while the caption reads: "Let's go for a walk in the park and get some fresh air." Giulia falls into his arms, a typically gendered figure that the caption mocks with the words "I don't feel very well, I've had too much to drink." The scarf around Giulia's neck is used as an excuse to stage a jealous scene in which she accuses him of cheating. After a heated discussion, translated into movement and figures, Nuno takes revenge by "spinning Giulia until she feels sick." This tutorial pokes fun at the often-gendered plots dancers use when creating their own story, as well as the movement stereotypes, with the female dancer performing drops or multiple turns for example.
