Salsa Mia at Yuca Lounge: Come learn sizzling salsa moves!
If you’re going to be spending some time in Miami, you should consider putting on your dancing shoes and taking some salsa lessons. Miami has numerous street festivals, clubs and restaurants at which this style of dance is prominent.
Salsa is a dance that spans the gamut from social to passionate, and it quickly becomes a dance of addiction. Once you learn the basic steps and get used to the three-beat rhythms (most music follows a four-beat pattern), you’ll be hooked.
Two left feet? Lack rhythm? Wonder what to do with your hands? No problem! The professional salsa instructors at Salsa Mia are experienced dancers and talented teachers. On top of that, they are spirited and engaging, making learning salsa both fun and easy.
Salsa Mia has lessons for beginners through advanced level dancers. So, if you already have some salsa prowess, they’ll help you perfect your moves and find your personal style, whether it is special footwork, a particular hair toss, or a signature dip.
Yuca Lounge on Lincoln Road hosts salsa dancing lessons on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. The bar on site is always open, serving mojitos, beer, wine and other spirits.
Each night, lessons kick off at 8:30 and run for about two hours.
Fridays, at 11 pm, a DJ or local salsa band keeps the beats going as Yuca Lounge makes its transition into one of the hottest salsa clubs in South Beach. Your lesson also gets you admission to the club, so stay and practice your moves! Sunday’s lessons are followed by open dancing until 11:30 pm.
Just give them a call, or stop by any Wednesday, Friday or Sunday to get started. A coupon for a free lesson is available on their website.
Upon registration, you’ll receive a “Salsa Mia Passing Card." You learn at your own pace; instructors will sign you off for each level once you’ve met all requirements. In all, there are six progressive levels.
HelloMetro Tip: Comfortable shoes with a leather or suede sole are best – make sure they fit well and won’t slip off!
