DC Clubbing, Nightlife and DJs Group

Pals, who is up for some Salsa and Zouk? I saw on our events that there is a huge demand for Salsa and Zouk. Wanted to throw a separate event for both. No experience needed. We will give lessons for the first hour. Come 'n have fun!

Zouk's dance move is similar to Salsa. It is a fast tempo style of rhythmic music originating from the Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique, popularized by the group Kassav in the 1980s. Let us see who has got the move:)
