The first Salsa on the Southside dance party will be held Friday, Aug. 4, at Revelry Room, 41 Station St.
Bring your friends, learn some basic steps, then dance the night away to your favorite Latin music played by DJ Mike Arana.
A complimentary dance lesson will be taught at 8:30 p.m. by local dance instructor and founder of G2G Salsa, Jesse Ramos, before the dance party begins at 9 p.m.
Ramos has been hosting dance socials on the first Friday of every month at his studio on Lee Highway, but decided it was time to bring the party downtown with the intention of reaching more people and making it more centrally located.
Ramos says this event is for people who are passionate about dancing or who feel adventurous and want to learn some new dance moves. For this kickoff, Huntsville, Ala.-based dance crew Clave y Tumbao Bamacitas will be on hand to perform some of its world-class routines.
