About this Event
Live Salsa. Live Bachata. One Big Band. One Holiday Night.
SALSON brings BOTH live salsa and live bachata to the main dance floor at Space 550 on Saturday, December 12. It's a rare chance to enjoy both styles performed by one big live band—and the perfect reason to get your friends together for a holiday night out.
SalsaCrazy Saturday is back at Space 550 for the Dance Saturdays Holiday Party! Come for the live music, try your first dance steps, enjoy the full bar, and explore three rooms of music and celebration. You do not have to be a dancer to belong here.
