Valentine's Day Salsa with Drop-In Lesson and Live Music by Buena Vibra Sextet (21+)

Salsa is a Latin dance influenced by several styles, like mambo and rumba. The dance is characterized by energetic footwork, spins, and turns. We teach On1, which is characterized by a lot of spinning and dancing in a slot (unlike Cuban or Cumbia styles). This event will feature live music by Buena Vibra Sextet!
