Hello Miss Bachata & Miss Salsa Family,
Happy New Year! As we step into 2025, let’s begin the first Monday of the year with joy, connection, and rhythm! This is the perfect time to celebrate fresh beginnings and embrace the warmth of our community. What better way to kick off the year than by dancing into it together, surrounded by friends and the magic of music? Let’s make this year our most memorable yet, starting with an evening of joy, laughter, and unity on the dance floor.
We’re thrilled to announce that our trial of advanced Bachata lessons, which began last September, has been a resounding success! Building on this momentum, we’re excited to offer an enhanced schedule for 2025. Our dance evenings will now feature three hours of classes: one hour of beginner to intermediate Bachata, one hour of advanced Bachata, and one hour of beginner to intermediate Salsa. As always, the entrance fee remains $15 for a night of lessons and social dancing. For those interested in the advanced Bachata lessons, there will be an additional $5 fee.
Here’s our updated schedule:

Over the past decade, organizing Latin dancing events in Mississauga has been a labor of love. Our mission has always been to foster a sense of community, proving that the connections we share are far stronger than the differences that divide us.
Loneliness is a growing concern, with over half of U.S. adults and many Canadians experiencing its effects. The COVID-19 pandemic has only heightened this issue. Harvard University's long-term study on happiness, which began in 1938, highlights the detrimental impact of loneliness on health. People with strong social connections experience slower mental and physical decline and greater overall happiness compared to those who are isolated.
Here are some key findings from the study:
Close ties help delay mental and physical decline more than money, fame, social class, IQ, or genetics.
Relationship satisfaction is a better predictor of aging well than cholesterol levels in middle age.
A strong sense of community improves memory function.
Loneliness can be as harmful to health as smoking or alcoholism.
But there’s hope! Strengthening our relationships and supporting community initiatives can combat loneliness and build healthier, happier lives. Miss Bachata & Miss Salsa provides a wonderful opportunity to make new friends, expand your social circle, and enjoy a safe, welcoming, authentic environment. Bring your open heart and a smile, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Cheers to building an authentic, joyful, and connected community!
