The rhythm, the class, the romance, the fitness! If you are looking for love and fitness you may find it on the dance floor. 
Salsa is a fabulous date for the fitness enthusiast. The fancy footwork to an infectious beat will keep you moving for hours. Each dance is spontaneous as a lift of the hand is a signal that a turn is ahead, a cross-body lead or maybe even a dip. Even singles can get in on the action as the gentlemen are known to ask the lady sitting at the bar for a dance.
No experience is necessary as there are often classes right before the main event to teach you the basics. However, it must be said that for the lady it is much more enjoyable to dance with a guy that knows what he’s doing.
The attire for this fitness date is “dress to impress” but be advised there will be lots of twirling, you will break a sweat and if you don’t have salsa shoes your toes may give out before you do.
A great place to salsa is at the Monsoon on the 3rd Street Promenade on Wednesday or Saturday night. The band is great, the crowd is friendly and you can even take a lesson before the actual dancing begins.
