Antonio Banderas had his American movie breakthrough in The Mambo Kings, so it wasn't really a surprise he could dance and sing.

[purijogarcia]

Why didn’t you include John Travolta in your featured dancers? He was so great in the Saturday Night Fever that actually made dancing so popular in those years?!
