Scenes from "Salsa: The Motion Picture"

The movie Salsa: The Motion Picture -- choreography by Kenny Ortega -- was released in 1988 (a year after Dirty Dancing). This scene shows a dance to the song "My Puerto Rico".


The Wikipedia about the movie Salsa summarizes the plot as follows:
In a nightly escape from his day job as a mechanic, Rico enters his true element: the wild exuberance of "La Luna" , a salsa club located in East Los Angeles, California. Dreaming of making himself and Vicky, his girlfriend the "King and Queen of Salsa", Rico pours all his energy into winning La Luna's Grand Salsa Competition. But when Luna, 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.
The character Luna is played by Miranda Garrison, who worked as assistant choreographer and played Vivian Pressman in Dirty Dancing.
