Synopsis
West Side Story meets Dangerous Liaisons with a dash of Tarantino in this passionate love story – a dance musical where the movement and energy of salsa drives a fiery and explosive narrative. Cuban immigrant Jose is a modern Don Juan and a magnificent dancer. Arriving in London, he exploits his talent for teaching that most passionate dance of them all – the salsa. A serial seducer and betrayer, he is surrounded by women who want to be with him and men who want to be like him. But the temptation of an irresistible challenge proves to be one seduction too far.
