Why does Ana break the fourth wall ?

just before the dancing and grinding and threesome. Ana goes to play a song, then she dances her back to the gang but she is looking straight at the camera in this seductive dance. Any ideas or am I reading too much into it ?

I was wondering that as well. What was the point? Probably has to do with her dancing and living at the moment. Maybe a message to the audience?

As the dance was well into an extended single take, maybe it wasn't intended but she went with it to keep the scene going and the director like it??

Her name was Lucia. Ana was one of the girlfriends.

Actually, her name was Luica. And one review I read said that she breaks the fourth wall because she's pretty much saying to the audience, "Yeah, I'm going to get these boys to hook up because we all know that's what they really want!"

Actually, the spelling is Luisa - gotcha!
