salsa clubs
Where couples spin
Salsa clubs are nightclubs or dance venues where people go to dance salsa and other Latin music styles like bachata, merengue, and cumbia.
Most offer dance lessons early in the evening before the main dancing begins: We took beginner classes at the salsa club on Thursdays.
The atmosphere tends toward social dancing rather than performance, with dancers of varying skill levels mixing on the floor.
