The story takes place at a burlesque club, Club Sparkle. Lourdes, a klutzy waitress, starts her new job there with hopes of eventually becoming a dancer. Also, the club's two top dancers compete for top billing while resorting to cat fights and stealing each other's boyfriends. ^[1]

In Ugly Betty, members of the Suarez family watch the telenovela, which uses English subtitles while the actors speak Spanish. Only short clips are shown on the show. The full chapters, which use dubbed English, are released as webisodes on ABC's website. ABC released the first chapter on January 4, 2007 and releases a new chapter each Thursday thereafter.^[1] Although "Muchas Muchachas" is Spanish for many girls, the telenovela's English title is "Dancing Queens".
