Social Tuesdays: Salsa Bachata Kizomba (SBK) Latin Dance Night

On Tuesday, September 5, 2023, we are excited to welcome special guest instructors, Ocean and Marissa, coming in to teach our Bachata classes while Irina is away training at Mamboland Montreal. Kevin will be your host for the night, so as you arrive, make sure to check-in with him to get your wristband.

We have previously brought in Ocean to teach at our Social Fridays and we are looking forward to collaborating with him once again. Both Ocean and Marissa have been attending our Social Tuesdays dance night for the past year, so you may have already had the privilege of dancing with these two talented artists.

Given Ocean's specialization in Sensual Bachata, the class will be leaning much more heavily into that style than usual, but with the same focus on ensuring content is accessible to beginners while providing valuable technique to the more experienced dancers.

We rotate partners throughout the dance class and the social dancing portion, so we have lots of singles that come out to the events and you do not need to come with a partner. These events are great for both meeting new people as well as a date night.

If you do come with a partner, you have the option not to rotate, though we highly recommend that you do to fully take advantage of the social aspect of the event as well as to enhance your learning experience during the dance classes.

Join us for a fun dance night at this beautiful venue! 💃🏼🌮🕺

Other Considerations

Our ability to book premium, centrally located dance venues, depends entirely on whether attendees support the venue with food/drink sales.

It is usually recommended to have a minimum $15 per person spend. We have heard from our regulars that food/drink at dance events is an important component for our Tuesday dance nights, so please help us provide you with the best experience by planning to have dinner/drinks on site.

Food/Drinks

The Common kitchen runs seasonal menus that place an emphasis on creativity and quality. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian or gluten free they’ve got you covered.

Choose a drink from their curated selection of craft, small batch, local and imported beers as well as an innovative mix of herbal, vintage and modern cocktails, spirits and wines.
