Events

Join us for a vibrant late afternoon of Latin dancing by the ocean! We’ll begin with a beginner-friendly lesson— no partner or experience needed. After the class, enjoy an open-air social featuring a dynamic blend of Salsa, Bachata, and Kizomba, with just a light touch of Merengue to round out the evening.

 Whether you want to:
• Learn something new in the lesson
• Dance your heart out at the social
• Or simply enjoy the music, connect with others, and soak in the atmosphere — You’re warmly welcomed. This is a beautiful, inclusive, and supportive community where new friendships are made and everyone belongs.

 Why We Charge:
We’re still in the process of applying for government funding and, unfortunately, didn’t raise enough through our indoor socials to fully cover summer costs. Your support helps with essentials like permits, insurance, equipment, venue fees, and more (approx. $3500–$4000 annually).

 Thank you for your understanding and continued support. If you have grant writing experience or would like to volunteer, we’d love to hear from you!
