Time to grab your dancing shoes–a three week dance party is salsa dancing its way to Bryant Park, and all you have to do is walk up and join the party!
The dance party has been a Midtown tradition since 2014. Now entering its tenth year, it will take over Bryant Park with a variety of in-person dance events throughout the first three weeks of May.
The best part–it’s completely free!
Each of the six programs will incorporate dance instruction, live music, and dancing and will take place every Wednesday and Thursday between May 1 and May 16. Attendees will first learn basic steps with expert instructors at 6pm before testing out their new moves to live music from 7pm – 8:30pm.
The dance party schedule is as follows:
- Wednesday 5/1 – Salsa and R&B
- Thursday 5/2 – Disco
- Wednesday 5/8 – Bachata Tradicional
- Thursday 5/9 – Lindy Hop
- Wednesday 5/15 – Motown
- Thursday 5/16 – Latin Festival: Charanga, Cuban Salsa, Cha Cha Cha & Salsa Dura
The series is completely open to the public and no reservations are required. Just put on your dancing shoes and get ready to merengue the night away–all ages are welcome!
