About this Event
Summary
Salsa, music, and movement open the Luminary series at The Simon in Louisville. No partner or experience needed.
Overview
The Luminary series begins with rhythm.
Salsa Luminaria opens the series with a social evening of salsa, Latin music, movement, and connection at The Simon in downtown Louisville.
Salsa music, guided dance moments, and a featured performance unfold throughout the venue—from the main floor to an intimate upper level and Nora’s Speakeasy below.
You don’t need a partner or previous dance experience. If you dance every week, you’ll find your floor. If you’ve never danced, guided instruction will help you find your footing.
Come ready to move. Come ready to connect. Come ready to begin the Luminary story.
