About this Event
Done with dating apps? Same. Singles events letting you down? Also same. So we're doing things differently.
This isn’t your typical speed dating night. No sitting across from someone answering the same five questions over and over. Instead, you’ll learn salsa, rotate partners throughout the evening, and connect in a way that feels natural, playful, and fun.
No dance experience needed, just bring yourself and a willingness to say yes to something different.
Here’s how the night works:
First Half: Salsa + Rotating Partners
You’ll learn salsa basics in a relaxed group setting while rotating partners every 5–7 minutes, giving you a chance to meet people naturally through movement and conversation.
Second Half: Social Hour
The music keeps going, the wine starts flowing, and you’ll have time to dance, mingle, flirt, and reconnect with anyone you hit it off with, or finally meet someone you missed earlier in the night.
We’ll also have simple contact cards available so exchanging info feels easy and low-pressure.
