WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Bruce Garrett (Frost) used to be a talented salsa dancer in his youth, until a traumatising incident made him lose all confidence and retire. Now overweight and working at a dead-end job, he falls for his new American boss Julia (Jones) but seethes when womanising colleague Drew (O’Dowd) also has his eyes on her. He decides the only thing he can do to win her over is to rediscover his dancing passion and make a triumphant return to the dance floor…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Simon Pegg’s best mate gets his chance to truly shine in a spicy British comedy that will get you smiling as well as tip-toeing to the dance floor.
