night two, we're back at Castaways. first day back at the beach. dancing on the lakefront as summer officially begins.
both nights: doors at 6:30pm beginner-friendly latin dance lesson at 7pm (no partner needed) open floor with bachata, salsa, and latin beats until late DJ sets, guest instructors, performances, and local vendors
no experience needed. whether you've been dancing all winter or this is your very first time, the first hour is for you.

salsa on a school night: three top
Three Top Lounge
1357 N Elston Ave, Chicago, IL 60642, USA
a school night has never felt like this. we're taking salsa on a school night to Three Top Lounge at The Salt Shed for one night only. 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. this one is a stop light party. grab a wristband at the door for your status: green means single, yellow means you are just here to dance, red means taken. one glance across the floor and you will know who to ask. come solo. a lot of people do. a few minutes in, you'll have already danced with five strangers and forgotten you were nervous about any of it. it's a school night. stay up late. salsa with us. 21+ · doors 6:30pm · Three Top Lounge [things to do on a wednesday, salsa dancing Chicago, stop light party, Salt Shed, latin night]
