	Say farewell to summer with one more spicy spin Salsa Friday Beginner Workshop Friday, August 22, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm Always wanted to learn to dance but didn't know where to start? Try Salsa! This sizzling Latin dance is a fantastic way to get started dancing. It works beautifully to a large variety of music (not just Latin Salsa!) and is a great solo dance too. Missed last week? No problem! Each week we teach a 40-50 minute lesson, starting with the absolute basics in a fun, popular dance style. And then, finish off the hour with a little taste of another style that will be on the schedule the later in the season.
