Art/Literary - Music / Dance
Spanish term or phrase: alma salsera
The phrase was the only accompaniment to a movie clip of a one-legged man with a crutch dancing a fast dance with a woman
Tom Moody
Salsa in the Soul/Gotta Dance!
Explanation:
The first option is pretty literal, with a nod to SwissTell who mentioned a similar idea but has not (yet) submitted it in answer form.

The second option would be a dynamic equivalent, perhaps, given that it's a caption or title for a video. "Gotta Dance!" is a famous song from a very famous movie, Singin' in the Rain. The idea would be that this man loves to dance salsa so much that his physical condition is no impediment when he feels the urge to dance.
