About this Event
Join us at the City Market Building for a special Big Lick Bachata Brunch on Sunday, June 23rd! Fuego Frio dance team from Richmond will be teaching a beginner-friendly salsa lesson at 12pm, PLUS performing a salsa routine and debuting their brand-new bachata routine! To honor our commitment to supporting local dance communities, BLLU will be donating a portion of the proceeds to Fuego Frio dance team's fundraiser, so let's pack the place and show them how Roanoke does it!
DJ Perico will be playing a mix of salsa, bachata, kizomba, zouk, and merengue. A special menu will be provided by Sticks & Spoons and brunch drinks provided by The Hatch — you won’t want to miss this!
Entrance is at the front of the City Market Building on Campbell Ave. Cost is $5 at the door for dancers (cash or Venmo); free entry for those only ordering food downstairs. Kids aged 16 and under are welcome with free entry, but must be supervised at all times by an adult. The dance floor can be a dangerous place for small kids, and Big Lick Latin Underground is not liable for injuries.
New, seasoned, solo, and partnered dancers are all welcome! Come dance, socialize, eat, and get to know the Big Lick Latin dance community. We are dedicated to making this a safe space for everyone — *Please review the pinned Code of Conduct on our main page before attending.*
