About this Event
Your favorite Bachata social is BACK!
For the Love of Bachata on Mt. Washington is the event that captured hearts back in 2013 and propelled me (Jessica) into event organizing. 12 years later, FTLOB is still going strong and still dancing in our favorite Pittsburgh spot.
📍 Which overlook?
We will be on the overlook directly across from the Carnegie Library on Grandview. Use the address: 315 Grandview Avenue, Pittsburgh PA 15211 to locate it.

6:30pm - there will be a mini-Bachata lesson to give you a few steps to enjoy the rest of the night with
7-10pm - open social dancing! Mostly Bachata with a few Salsas, Merengues, and even a Dembow animation thrown in.
