At and around the Puerto Vallarta Amigos restaurant ( https://www.facebook.com/pvamigos
). Just dancing -- no planned lesson, but if you are a follow, not to worry -- it's pretty easy. (:

Salsa-band is led by Miguelito Valdés (collab'd with U2, Sting, Coldplay, Maroon 5, Omara Portuondo (Buena Vista Social Club), Herbie Hancock, Gilberto Santa Rosa, et al.) http://www.miguelitovaldes.com/English/Bio.html
(but sometimes other bands)

Kickstart the weekend at the Herald St Brew Works for drinks/food, and socializing. They serve non alcoholic beverages, ciders/cocktails if you don't drink beer.

This is a great way for you to meet new people and/or reconnect with old friends and familiar faces.

No reservations so it will be first come, first serve for seats.

Head out downtown afterwards to another venue for more drinks/dancing/food.

I have cross posted on other groups as well.

I will cancel this event if there is a lack of interest or lack of participants.

Let's go dance at Victoria's biggest salsa-dance-social! https://latindancecanada.com/

Attendance is typically 100-160 people!

There will be a quick intro-dance-lesson ( fyi, separate lesson-series: https://latindancecanada.com/group-classes/ ), then social-dancing. No partner required. $15 at door with or without lesson. No particular dress-code. Non-sticky shoes are good. Plenty of parking-space around (Ukrainian Cultural Centre (3277 Douglas Street)).
