Staring at a treadmill wall? No thanks! 𥱠Salsa is the ultimate health hackâa high-energy, full-body workout disguised as a massive dance party that burns calories and tones muscles without you ever checking the clock.

**Your Community:**
We aren't just a studio; weâre a supportive, lively community! Salsa is deeply social, making it the absolute best way to shake up your routine, expand your social circle, and laugh through a brand-new experience. Absolutely everyone of all ages and fitness levels is welcomeâyou don't need a partner, zero experience is required, and you definitely don't need "rhythm" to start the fun with us!
**What to Expect:**
The Fundamentals: We are breaking down the absolute basics so you feel confident and comfortable on the floor.
Your Instructor: You'll be learning from Dani, who makes every step easy to follow, low-pressure, and incredibly fun.
The Vibe: Casual, supportive, energetic, and completely judgment-free.
**The Details:**
ð
When: TODAY!
â° Time: 7:00 PM
ð Where: Abanico Academy - 3473 Lake Shore Blvd West

Drumming Circle & Uplifting Discussion ðªâšð
**NO MUSICAL EXPERIENCE REQUIRED**
**About Drum & Soul**
Drum & Soul is a participatory community space that combines drumming, singing, reflection and conversation in one shared experience. Through rhythms from different cultures, collective music making and meaningful discussion around a focused theme, we practise qualities that strengthen both the individual and the community.
This is more than a drumming circle. It is a space where people can grow in expression, presence, listening, and contribution, while learning how these same qualities can be carried into everyday life and relationships.
---
...
**Why come**
Come if you want to grow your expressive capacity, feel more at ease participating with others, and be part of a growing space that celebrates the human in us. Everyone is welcome, regardless of age, background or musical experience.
If you feel shy in groups, that is completely natural. Many people arrive unsure and leave feeling surprisingly at home.
---
...
**How it works**
---
We begin with a short breathing and centring exercise, followed by simple rhythm demonstration and call and response drumming. We then move into smaller group discussion around a shared theme. From there we shift into collective jamming and improvisation, and end with a potluck meal and informal connection.
---
...
**Typical meeting flow**
1. ð«±ðœâð«²ð» Arrival & social time â 15 min
2. ðð»ââïž Welcome, check in and centring â 15 min
3. ðª Call & Respond **Drumming & demo** â 20 min
4. ð¬ Facilitated **Discussion** on the Theme (groups of five-or so) â 20 min
5. ðºðœ Open **Jamming** with multiple instruments â 30 min
6. ðŠ Potluck **dinner** & social time afterwards â 60 min
*This outline is flexible and may shift to suit the group and the space.*
---
...
**Logistics & what to bring**
Our next Drum & Soul gathering will be held outdoors in the park. If the weather turns rainy, we will move the gathering to our usual indoor location (you'll be notified in the comment section of any changes).
Since outdoor seating is limited, please bring a lawn chair or picnic blanket if you can.
Drums are available on a first come, first served basis, and we will also provide plenty of small percussion instruments so every hand can play. You are welcome to bring your own drum or instrument.
We end the evening with a shared **potluck meal**, an extension of the circle where conversation and connection continue. Since the event is free, we warmly ask everyone to bring a small item to share if they are able. Simple finger foods and easy to serve savoury items are especially helpful, such as fruit, veggies and dip, wraps, sandwiches, hummus and pita, samosas, spring rolls, crackers and cheese, or other meal friendly bites. Sweet items are welcome too, but meal friendly contributions are especially appreciated.
---
...
**Cost & contributions**
---
This is a free event. If you are unable to bring food, you are welcome to make an optional contribution toward refreshments and materials by e-transfer to **hooshmandnyc@gmail.com**
---
...
**Helpful notes**
---
No prep needed. Doors open at 3:45 p.m. Please arrive by then so we can start at 4:00 p.m. sharp and keep the flow. Location and any last minute updates are posted on Meetup and in our WhatsApp group. We recommend joining the WhatsApp group (ask us for the link at the venue) for quick notices.
---
...
**Life Between Gatherings**
Drum & Soul does not begin and end with the monthly session. For those who want to continue beyond the gatherings and go deeper, we also have:
⢠**Advanced sessions** for those who want to go further in drumming technique and explore the discussion themes more deeply in a smaller group
⢠**Home or café meetups** for simple in-person connection, where a few participants can continue the conversation more personally and naturally
⢠**Ongoing contact** so the spirit of the gathering can carry into everyday life through our own reflection, friendship and mutual encouragement
Over time, these smaller spaces help strengthen connection, shared learning, and community life between sessions. Ask us about these features for more detail.
---
...
**Why this matters**
Our world is like a sick body, and is aching for a lasting remedy. We believe our special mission here is to nurture one another, define our roles in service to our fellow humans, and become living temples of unity. A meaningful growth unfolds through both selfâdiscovery and collective effort, and one cannot truly flourish without the other. Come open and prepared to learn, to offer your gifts, and to be strengthened by the power of community.
