No Salsa Partner Required
The Salsa community here in Vancouver is diverse and extremely friendly. One of the best parts is that everyone dances with everyone else. No need to show up with a partner, people will often ask you to dance and encourage you to give it a try. Even when people show up with their friends or bring a partner, they are always ready to switch things up and dance with someone new. So don’t worry, you can always show up by yourself and still have a ton of fun.
Robson Square Salsa = Fun For Everyone!
Sunday Salsa at Robson Square attracts hundreds of dancers and keen-to-watch bystanders every week. The greatest thing about Sunday Salsa is that the dances are open to everyone—regardless of skill level. If you have never done Salsa before, the beginner lessons at 3pm are a great way to get started. Sometimes they’re even taught by our very own instructors, Patrick and Scarlet! During the lessons you will learn the fundamentals of the dance and become confident enough to social dance with heaps of amazing people for the rest of the afternoon. Not only is Salsa an incredibly fun dance, it’s an amazing way to meet incredible new people from all walks of life.
If you’re already an experienced Salsa dancer, you are going to have a blast—this event is not to be missed! People often travel from out of town to attend so you’ll never run out of new people to dance with.
