LATIN ENERGY'S MONTHLY SOCIAL

Our monthly parties are open to everyone. They are catered for our students to enjoy a friendly and fun atmosphere to practice what they have learned and interact with other students and dancers. The DJ plays a mix of salsa, merengue, bachata & cha cha. The DJs change every party to provide a greater variety of music styles. We host a party every month and we try to keep a consistency of the "first Friday of the month" even though sometimes it may change due to the hall schedule or other reasons such as holidays, etc. Please always visit out website to see when the next party is schedule for. The cover is $8 unless it is a special event with performances which we would announced in advance.
