Salsa is a 1988 romance film about a Puerto Rican dancer who decides to enter a salsa dancing contest. The film was directed by Boaz Davidson, and stars Robby Rosa, Rodney Harvey, Magali Alvarado and Miranda Garrison. It earned a Razzie Award nomination for Rosa as Worst New Star.
In a nightly escape from his day job as a mechanic, Rico (Robby Rosa) enters his true element: the wild exuberance of the East L.A. "La Luna" salsa club. Dreaming of making himself and Vicky (Angela Alvarado), his girlfriend the "King and Queen of Salsa", Rico pours all his energy into winning La Luna's Grand Salsa Competition. But when Luna (Miranda Garrison), 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.
