@S’more City sent me 2 a Salsa Class @ Sounds of Brazil or SOB’s NYC📍for a @TriedandTrue experience yesterday. 🎟️ Cost: 20$ 🚊Nearest train: Varick St 1🔴 right in front of SOB’s. $$$$: Drinks, shots (tiny) & eats are 18$ & up, & yes thats during their happy hour🫢 Coat check is $ only, pretty much mandatory & down extremely steep stairs. No elevator. Venue has ATM machine that will charge you 6$ to withdraw. 6-10$ for coats, bags or other items. SOB’s VENUE: Big center stage, 1 full service bar & 1 small bar. 2 table areas on each side of the stage. 1 small VIP area. 2 tiny bathrooms. No A/C so the more crowded,(& IT WAS EXTREMELY CROWDED) the more you’ll sweat, even if you’re just standing there. Lots of strobing lights. EXPERIENCE: Showed my ID & 🎟️at the entrance, asked where the salsa class would be happening & was told 2 go right in. Entered an open dance floor full 2 the brim of ppl dancing. Looked like a regular club. Asked multiple staff where the salsa class was taking place & none of them had a clue what I was talking about. Chaotic & disorganized AF. After being guided 2 coat check downstairs & coming back up, I was surprised 2 hear the DJ on the center stage,(now emceeing)introducing himself as an instructor from the Piel Canela Dance Company. He announced the “class” was beginning. At this point, the club was packed 2 the max. If u werent standing at the right angle, 2 giant columns on each side of the stage were blocking him from view completely. If u happened to find a standing spot with a good angle but u were short, u probably only caught his upper body, no visuals on the steps. Every1 stepping on/knocking into eachother. Instructor was charismatic, offering every1 there 1 free month of classes at Piel Canela Dance Company by texting a number he announced. That being said: if you ACTUALLY want 2 learn how 2 dance? DONT do it at this venue. Actual teaching was maybe 20 mins? despite the event being advertised as 2 & 1/2 hrs long. ...More

This was my first Salsa Lesson ever, and was really fortunate that I got to try it through @TriedandTrue . The environment was phenomenal, and the instructor was very charismatic. At the beginning, I was really nervous because I went to this event by myself and I am not that social, but this event was really welcoming and friendly. I was having so much fun dancing and felt so comfortable that I ended up asking people to dance with me. I even made friends that night, and we are planning to go back together! Ps: I would suggest getting there before 6:30pm because there was a line, and I heard people mentioning that it’s free if you enter before 6:30pm. Also, bring cash if you plan to check in coats, as they only accept cash and charge $6 per coat. They have an ATM inside in case you end up needing cash....More

Def did not disappoint! I haven’t danced samba in such a long time and I had no idea there was a huge community out here! It was such a good time guys! They teach you the moves in the beginning so you get a chance to practice to the music before they open up the circle and allow every and anyone to dance! They also had professional samba dancers that gave us a little performance and if you’re feeling it, they might ask you to come up on stage and show us way you just learned! Literally no one was sitting down and that’s my kind of party! I will say though, if you do get the tickets, you MUST get there before 7 otherwise they won’t honor your ticket. I also received push back as they couldn’t find name in their system so not sure if that was a s’mores error but we eventually worked it out :) So grab your girls or guys and check this out! Such a fun little gem in the city :)...More

I literally manifested winning that free ticket to Sounds of Brazil (S.O.B.’s) because there’s no way the universe just hands me a perfect night like that for no reason. The second I walked in, the energy was insane—like, the kind of vibe that makes you wanna throw your bag in a corner and just dance your heart out. The music?? Unreal. They were playing EVERYTHING—Afrobeats, reggaeton, Brazilian funk, all mixed so seamlessly that I couldn’t stop moving if I tried. And the crowd?? Pure serotonin. Everyone was hyping each other up, no bad vibes, just sweaty, happy, unstoppable energy. I swear I made a whole squad of new besties just by screaming lyrics with them. Oh, and the drinks? I had a caipirinha (because, duh, Brazil), and it was so fresh and citrusy but also lowkey dangerous because it went down TOO easy. The bartenders were also SO fun—literally dancing while making drinks like they were part of the show. I don’t know how to explain it, but S.O.B.’s isn’t just a bar—it’s an experience. It’s a place where you go to feel alive, to dance until your legs give out, and to meet people who are on the same chaotic, fun-loving wavelength as you. And I got in for FREE?? Like, is this my peak?? Probably. 12/10, I’m obsessed....More
