Salsa in Toronto
Canada
Salsa in Toronto gives you 6 events a week, and all 6 are weekly socials. Wednesday is the busiest night with 2 parties, and Friday also has 2. Thursday and Saturday each add one more, so you can dance four nights out of seven. The socials run across 4 venues, from a live-music lounge to studios and a community hall, spread between the west end and downtown. Bachata is just as active with 6 events, and 2 kizomba nights round out the week, so many floors mix styles in one evening. Most parties open with a short beginner class, then move into open dancing. Coming alone works fine here; dancers rotate partners from the first song.
