    One of my favorite 80's movies! Loved the music and dancing, with great music. Fun back in the day movie, when Salsa was it. :D Kenny Ortega is the choreographer to this cool dance movie.

    There is barely a plot to this cliche'd movie. Shallow and forgettable. The dancing is okay, but if it's a movie about dancing, it needs really great dancing to pull it off. The acting is fair, good music though.
