Young Bruce's fire-in-his-heels confidence, the trophy run and the siblings' ThunderCats salute.
The opening packs young Bruce and Sam's salsa circuit into a rush of trophies, competition floors and Ron Parfitt's hard-edged coaching. The siblings' ThunderCats call and Bruce's hand-sewn sequined shirt make this prodigy montage recur later as a private piece of muscle memory.

Danced by Nick Frost · Choreography Richard Marcel
Bruce clearing space for mirrors and discovering that the old champion's steps no longer arrive on command.
Adult Bruce replays the old winner announcement, decides he needs mirrors and tries to make his body answer the child champion on the tape. Each heavy landing and breathy stop exposes the twenty-two-year gap before the attempt finally sends him looking for Ron.

Danced by Nick Frost; Kayvan Novak; El Corazón class ensemble · Choreography Richard Marcel
Bruce interrupting the counted basic because he believes he belongs somewhere more advanced.
Bruce enters El Corazón in the old-school rubber-soled shoes and immediately talks across the teacher's basic-step count of one-two-three, five-six-seven. His insistence that the class is baby stuff lands against a room already moving in unison, so the return begins with embarrassment rather than mastery.

Danced by Nick Frost; Yanet Fuentes · Choreography Richard Marcel
World-champion Alicia folding Bruce through the cabaret test before welcoming him back.
Yanet Fuentes's Alicia accepts Ron's road test and accelerates Bruce into the acrobatic weight changes of salsa cabaret while he struggles to stay upright. Her warning that he is in her yard, the sudden cry of 'Rumba,' and the calm 'Welcome back' after the final contortion make the lesson feel like a physical initiation.

Danced by Nick Frost; Kayvan Novak; El Corazón class ensemble · Choreography Richard Marcel
Bruce declaring that he is there to learn salsa and earning his first simple word of approval.
Bruce returns to the line, gives his full name and finally accepts the instructor's counted basics instead of hiding behind his childhood résumé. The sequence moves him through side steps, a forward turn and a back-and-shimmy until the teacher's 'Nice one, Bruce' replaces Ron's earlier rejection.

Danced by Kayvan Novak; Nick Frost; Boteco dance-floor ensemble · Choreography Richard Marcel
The illuminated glass floor and Bejan heckling the salsa-aerobics group from the sidelines.
Boteco's programmable LED glass floor fills with social couples while Bruce and Bejan watch from its edge. Bejan's running commentary separates a close grinding couple from a salsa-aerobics group, turning the crowded floor into Bruce's crash course in what this community considers authentic or embarrassing.

Danced by Nick Frost; salsa-club partner; Boteco dance-floor ensemble · Choreography Richard Marcel
Ron ejecting Bruce for empty steps, followed by Bruce's angry recovery of his heart on the floor.
Bruce is called off the bar and starts a guarded partner basic until Ron stops the music with repeated orders to get off the floor. Ron's accusation that Bruce is only doing steps provokes the silent burst that follows, and the same club becomes the first place adult Bruce dances from el corazón instead of memory.

Danced by Nick Frost; Ian McShane · Choreography Richard Marcel
Ron's eagle-versus-heron correction and Bruce silently counting steps among industrial machines.
Ron rebuilds Bruce from the shoulders out, demanding the arms of an eagle and the legs of a stallion while correcting every ungainly shape in the mirror. The montage carries Bruce's counted footwork into the machinery showroom and other scraps of daily life, showing practice invading the office that had kept him small.

Danced by Nick Frost; Kayvan Novak · Choreography Richard Marcel
Bejan's reggaeton explanation ending in Bruce's mistimed drop to the floor.
Bejan answers Bruce's complaint that the move looks like chicken stuff by naming it reggaeton and demonstrating the lower, looser attack. The counted three-two-one drop ends with Bruce hitting the floor and yelping, a comic reminder that salsa fitness has not prepared him for Bejan's perreo-based drill.

Danced by Nick Frost; Ian McShane · Choreography Richard Marcel
Ron declaring that Bruce has finally won and handing back the soft old Cuban-heeled shoes.
Ron reduces Bruce's readiness test to a terse count from one through five, refusing sentiment until the combination lands. The reward is Bruce's tiny 1980s dance shoes, so the finished phrase returns the exact object stripped from him after the childhood attack.

Bruce forcing Drew to follow 'like a lady' and finishing the lunch-break battle at the table.
The parking-garage duel turns salsa partnering into combat as Bruce and Drew trade wrist insults, skirt-like taunts and control of the lead between parked cars. Bruce finally reverses Drew into the follower's role and drives the contest toward the folding table, paying off his promise to dance his rival under any sort of table.

Danced by Nick Frost; Olivia Colman · Choreography Richard Marcel
Sam volunteering herself as Bruce's partner and invoking the forbidden ThunderCats routine.
At the driving range, Sam answers Bruce's claim that he has no partner by slipping back into their old sibling timing and insisting she still has it. The ThunderCats call they used as children bridges the dark practice bay to the Santo Vito floor, making their reunion a recovered ritual rather than a newly invented partnership.

The siblings entering terrified and finishing to the emcees' astonished 'feet of fury' call.
Bruce and Sam step onto heat four admitting that neither is ready, then their old partnership snaps back under the emcees' running commentary. Sam's command for a big smile and the call of 'feet of fury' turn the siblings' private nostalgia into the routine that carries them into the semifinal.

The unexpected double move and the announcement that Bruce and Sam have reached the final.
The semifinal begins on the emcee's 'Musica, maestro' and keeps Bruce and Sam moving through a crowded elimination floor where other couples peel away. Sam's repeated 'Come on, Bruce' meets the announcer's surprise at their double move, and the pair earns the last call that matters: finalists.

Danced by Nick Frost; Rashida Jones; unnamed dance doubles in advanced passages; Santo Vito competition ensemble · Choreography Richard Marcel
Julia joining at the last possible moment and Bruce realizing that finishing together matters more than the trophy.
Julia arrives in time for the Santo Vito final, accepts Bruce's invitation and immediately asks whether she should lead before he insists he can manage. Their salsa builds into the difficult throwing passages for which Jones used a dance double, but losing the contest leaves the pair laughing together instead of breaking Bruce's confidence.

Bruce granting Ron access to the floor before the whole Santo Vito crowd joins the final dance.
After the winners are announced, Ron formally asks Bruce's permission to enter his dance floor and the old teacher is finally admitted on the student's terms. The emcee's call for 'some love' folds Sam, Julia, Ron and the club into one last social salsa, replacing competition ranks with the community Bruce recovered.
