What we’re about
Got "Dance Fever"? Well, put on your dance shoes and come to the Phoenix Latin Dance Club Meetup Group! If you have a passion for salsa, bachata, merengue, or any other Latin dance style, then this is the group for you. Whether you are a beginner looking to learn some new moves or an experienced dancer looking to practice and socialize with fellow enthusiasts, this meetup is the perfect opportunity to connect with others who share your love for Latin dance. Come join us for classes, socials, and performances as we groove to the vibrant rhythms of Latin music together!
Exercise routines can be boring and a bit of a chore, but social dancing is a fun way to exercise and enjoy socializing at the same time. It's a good way to de-stress after a stressful day or week. If you feel isolated and disconnected social dance is a healthy way to mingle and socialize. If you feel depressed, dance can help to chase away the "blues".
The following is an excerpt from an article published by APHA (The American Public Health Association): "As we grow older, dance enables us to maintain flexible and strong bodies and improves balance."
"Science also tells us dancing releases endorphins, the brain’s feel-good chemicals, which improve mental health. And when we do it in groups, dancing can combat feelings of loneliness and open social channels."
Latin social dances such as the Salsa are particularly exhilarating and energizing.
Twice a month or maybe even once a week we will meet at a place to learn and practice various Latin dances and then later on schedule a Latin Dance Party at a venue where we can socialize and dance the night away.
