salsa before sunset (last one of the summer)
Castaways Beach Club
1603 N Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60611, USA
salsa, the beach, and the best skyline view in the city. 21+ we're taking over castaways on north avenue beach for a night of salsa dancing right as the sun dips behind the city. the night opens with a beginner-friendly lesson, so whether you're a seasoned dancer or you've never moved to a beat in your life, you'll be on the floor in no time. then the dj takes over with the best of salsa, bachata, and latin hits while the sky lights up over lake michigan. come solo, bring your crew, or show up ready to meet someone new. no partner needed. no experience necessary. just bring an open mind and shoes you can spin in.
