About this Event
Not just a ticket, but a VIP Pass — every Friday in 2027, plus the people you bring (and that's just the start).
Some of you are here every single Friday.
You know the DJs by name, you know which room you're walking into first, and when you show up, people you've met here are glad to see you.
And some of you came once or twice and walked out thinking it was one of the best nights you'd had in years. Maybe it changed your Fridays — maybe more than that.
Now is your time. The VIP Pass is how you go from "I should go back" to "I'm there every week": your name on the list, your friends in free, and a room full of people who'll know you by spring. This pass isn't only for the diehards. It's for the people ready to become one.
That's what Dance Fridays is: San Francisco's salsa and bachata home, every Friday at Space 550, lessons at the top of the night, two rooms going till late, live bands once a month, and a crowd of 500+ that has made this the best Friday in the city for years.
The 2027 VIP Pass is for the people who make that room what it is — and for the people who want to. Your name on the list at the door. Your guests. Your parties. All year.
Black Friday Special: $600 through Cyber Monday, Nov 30 (regular price $800) — and December 2026 is included: both December live-band nights, the holiday parties, every Friday through New Year's, before your 2027 even begins.
WHAT YOU GET (every number is the door price — nothing inflated)
- Every Dance Fridays in 2027. All the lessons, all the rooms, the live-band nights, the holiday parties, the big ones. Walk up, say your name, show your ID — no card, no ticket on your phone, no line. 49 Fridays — 37 at $25 plus 12 live-band nights at $40–$50 = $1,405–$1,525.
- A full year of salsa and bachata lessons — if you're learning to dance, this alone way more than pays for the pass. Every Friday, before the party: salsa and bachata lessons, beginner and intermediate. Take up to two a night, 49 Fridays — up to 98 lessons a year. At a typical $30 San Francisco studio drop-in, that's $2,940 in lessons alone — nearly five times the $600 pass — and every lesson comes with a full night of social dancing to practice what you just learned. (Lessons come with your Friday admission, so they're not double-counted in the total below.)
- Start the day you buy. The pass is live immediately — every Friday for the rest of 2026 is yours too, including the live-music nights in December that are $40 at the door. Buy now and December is yours too — both December live-band nights, the holiday parties, every Friday through New Year's — before 2027 even begins. Every week you wait is a Friday you've already paid for. Up to 7 bonus Fridays before 2027 — $200+ at the door.
- A guest in free, twice a month. On the 1st and 3rd Friday of every month, bring one guest free — any guest, 21+, the same friend every time if you like. Arrive together, say "plus one," you're both in. Works on band nights too, and it starts now: three guest passes before 2027 even begins. 24 guests × $25 = $600+ at the door — more on band nights.
- Your birthday party, on us. You and 25 friends in free, a spot in the shared VIP area with your name on it, a birthday dance and a shout-out from the DJ. Any regular Friday in your birthday month. Your guests come in on free tickets from a private link we send you (see "How do parties work" below). $625.
- Two Dance Party Nights. Free entry for a group of 15 — a work group, a team, visiting family, a birthday that isn't yours — any regular Friday you pick, same private ticket link. $750.
- The SalsaCrazy Mondays dance party, every week. The party, not the class: show your ID at Neck of the Woods for the social after the Monday class. (The class itself is 20% off with your series discount.) 46 Mondays × $20 at the door = $920.
- First registration on every Salsa Monday 4-Week Salsa Series, and 20% off. The series sells out most months. Holders register before it opens to the public, at 20% off — over $100 under the drop-in door price every month you take one. Up to $1,200+ a year.
- The lowest price on everything else, always. Anything we sell separately in 2027 — festivals, concerts, workshops, special-ticket nights — holders pay the lowest price we ever advertise for it, even if you book the day of. And you hear about it first.
- The 2028 pass is free if you earn it. Two leaderboards, all year. Most Fridays: every night you check in counts; the holder with the most Fridays in 2027 gets the 2028 pass free. Your code: every holder gets a personal code worth $5 off any Dance Fridays ticket for anyone you give it to; the holder whose code is used the most in 2027 gets the 2028 pass free. Top five on either board get 2028 at the insider price. Leaderboard by first name every quarter in the holder email.
Over $4,500 at the door — over $5,700 if you take a series every month. Black Friday Special: $600 through Cyber Monday (regular price $800). It's a crazy good deal.
THE MATH (IT ISN'T CLOSE)
- You're learning to dance: up to two lessons every Friday — 98 a year. At $30 a studio class, that's $2,940 in lessons, almost five times the pass, with a dance party after every one to practice in.
- Come most Fridays: All 49 Fridays (12 of them live-band nights at $40–$50) = $1,405–$1,525 at the door. That's more than double the $600 pass — before a single guest, party or Monday.
- Come twice a month and bring a friend: 24 Fridays + 24 free guests = $1,200+ at the door. Paid for twice over — and your birthday party and two party nights are still in your pocket.
- Come once a month: your birthday party and two party nights alone are $1,375 at the door — more than double the pass. Every Friday you show up is a bonus.
THE PRICE GOES UP — every step is on this page, nothing is hidden, and the earliest buyers always get the best deal:
- Black Friday Special — through Cyber Monday, Nov 30: $600 (regular price $800). Buy during the special and you get a third Dance Party Night on top — a bonus, never a price cut, so nobody who buys early gets undercut. Current VIP holders and Dance Fridays regulars: use your code at checkout.
- Tue Dec 1 – Mon Dec 14: $800
- Tue Dec 15 – Mon Dec 28: $1,000
- Tue Dec 29 – Fri Jan 8, until doors open on Grand Re-opening night: $1,200 — the final online window.
- At the door on Friday Jan 8 only: $1,500.
- Then it's gone. Sales close for good when the first Dance Fridays of 2027 ends on Friday Jan 8. After that, the 2027 pass is not sold at any price.
Give Your Friends and Family Gift passes: $500 each with your own pass through Cyber Monday, Nov 30 — in your friends' names, up to five. From Dec 1, a gift pass is $100 under whatever the price is that day. A year of Fridays is the best present you'll give in 2026.
Two per order: you can buy two passes in one order (yours and one more) — just give us both names at checkout.
