Event Information
Description
If there is one thing that Puerto Ricans are known for worldwide, it's our music! Come immerse yourself in our culture of rhythm, swing, and sensuality during the San Juan Salsa Nights experience. Because here in Puerto Rico, Salsa is more than a dance step - it's a way of life!
First we'll meet up at a lovely outdoor location here in San Juan. We'll start off with a complimentary cocktail hour where we'll break the ice, get to know each other, and build up a little liquid courage. Then we'll have a dance class where you will learn the basics to Salsa. Our style of dancing is "Salsa de Calle" which means Street Salsa - how Puerto Ricans dance at the bars and yes, in the streets! It's a more casual style where the emphasis is not on technical counts or ballroom postures, but about feeling the music and having fun! We'll also briefly go over the basics for the other Caribbean steps - Merengue, Bachata and Cha Cha Cha.
Once you're comfortable with your new dance moves, we take the party out to a nearby Salsa bar where you can practice dancing with the locals! The Salsa scene in Puerto Rico is so lively, sensual and joyous - you'll get swept right off your feet and into the rhythm.
