This month’s featured style is salsa on April 24, bringing upbeat Latin rhythms, quick footwork, and a lively social dance floor, all led by the professional dancers of Bella Lux Entertainment. The evening begins with a special performance from 6 to 6:15 p.m., setting the tone before the crowd is invited to learn the moves themselves during a guided dance class from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m. The night wraps up with open dancing and a live DJ from 7:15 p.m. to 8 p.m. Between sets, guests can explore the farmers market, stop by North City’s eateries for sips and bites, and make their way back to the dance floor throughout the evening.
