We’ve got a new format and schedule for our ¡A Bailar! Wednesdays at Sotto Night Club 💃🏼🕺🏻!

Join us every Wednesday from 7-11pm. We’ll start the evening up with two mini dance lessons: Bachata (7:30pm) and Cumbia (8:00pm). Afterwards, stick around for social dancing—which now includes a more even split of Salsa, Bachata, and Cumbia music 🥳 (social dancing ends by 11pm)
