How to Make it to the Dance Floor: A Salsa Guide for Women (Based on Actual Experiences)
Written and created by Cindy García
How to make it to the Dance Floor takes audiences to any given night in a fictional L.A. nightclub, where salsa dancing is approached from a variety of interpretations. Enter a red-haired Chicana feminist ethnographer who records the night’s events on a bathroom wall. When the wallflowers from the salseras' camp challenge the ethnographer’s interpretations, they collectively decipher four crucial rules. Their different histories, experiences, and dance styles propel their encounters, truces, and clashes on the dance floor.
