The film ends as Laura teaches her father the first steps of the dance. Ruth Barton writes of the film's structure, "Symbolically, the film illustrates its theme of bridging divides – between father and daughter, Protestant and Catholic traditions, life and death – by the device of the boat Lexie (B. J. Hogg) pilots across the Foyle to and from his job, itself a mixed workplace. Finally, Laura performs in a Féis (dancing competition) in honour of which the boat is decked out in red, white, and blue bunting." Dance Lexie Dance was nominated in the Best Live Action Short Film category at the 70th Academy Awards. (en)
