Synopsis:

Robby Rosa, former lead singer of the super group Menudo, stars in this sexy story of young dreams, dangerous passions and dance-floor fireworks! With special performances by Salsa legends Celia Cruz and Tito Puente, this high-energy musical sizzles with breathtaking choreography and all the spice of red-hot salsa! In a nightly escape from his day job as a mechanic, Rico (Rosa) enters his true element: the wild exuberance of the East L.A. 'La Luna' salsa club. Dreaming of making himself and his girlfriend the 'King and Queen of Salsa,' Rico pours all his energy into winning La Luna's Grand Salsa Competition. But when the club's gorgeous owner sets her sights on making Rico her dance partner, Rico must decide what drives him-his ambition...or his heart.

Disco-gone-Latin, that's what's happening in Salsa, where a grease monkey who's sick and tired of knuckle-busting lives for his nights on the dance floor where he gyrates to the salsa beat. Not much plot but plenty of dancing is the fare here, as the lead guy (Robby Rosa) is out to show he's the Travolta of the Latino swing scene.

Rico is a nineteen year old car mechanic with a burning desire to dance. Luna, an ageing former Queen of Salsa, sees him as a means for her to get back into the limelight.
