salsa on a school night
Epiphany Center for the Arts

a school night has never felt like this. once a month we take over Epiphany Center for the Arts, a historic West Loop church with vaulted ceilings, stained glass and cathedral acoustics, and turn it into the biggest latin dance floor in the city. we start with a beginner lesson. walk in having never danced salsa and you'll be moving within the hour. you don't need a partner, we rotate you through the room so you meet half the floor before the lesson is over. after that the floor opens and stays open late. come solo. most people do, and our hosts will introduce you around. by the second song you'll have danced with five strangers and forgotten you were nervous about any of it. wednesday night. 350 people. one very good room. 21+ · Epiphany Center for the Arts
