In 1987 a thirteen-year-old natural born dancer with fire in his heels and snakes
in his hips is working himself up to explode all over the UK Junior Salsa
Championships.
But then: a freakish bullying incident on the mean streets of London robs him of
his confidence, and our young hero finds his life diverted down a very different
path.
Twenty-two-years later, an adult Bruce Garrett (Nick Frost) finds himself out-of-shape
and unloved – trapped in a downward spiral of self-pity, repression and Nando’s
take-outs. Only Julia (Rashida Jones), his smart, funny, gorgeous new American boss,
gives him reason to live. But she’s untouchable; out of his league. Luckily for
him, she also has a secret passion. Thus, Bruce is once again brought face-to-face
with the darkest and most powerful of his inner demons. Somehow, someway, Bruce
must learn how to unshackle his dancing beast, regain his long lost fury and claim
the love of his life…and he’s going to do it all On The Dance Floor…
