Bryant Park is hosting dance parties every Wednesday and Thursday until May 16th! These are hosted by dancers like Talia Castro Pozo and accompanied by live music by Uptown Royalty! The first hour is made up of dance instructions and we learned a bunch of beginner steps and partner steps as well. I will say that this was a really beginner friendly dance party since I had no idea how to Salsa going in, but I did find it hard to see the footwork of the instructors from the middle of the crowd. I was relying mostly on those around me, verbal instructions, and just going with the beat of the music and letting my feet take the lead, haha. The second part of the party was live music and taking what we learnt and free dancing alongside the instructors and pro dancers. I went with a friend so I had an automatic partner during the partner dances, but many of the people around me who came alone seemed to easily vibe with the person next to them through dance. Each day, there seems to be a different dancing theme, so going every Wednesday and Thursday would keep things engaging, fun, and lighthearted. I also always wanted to go to dance classes and this is a great way to get exposure to a bunch of them in a nice introductory way! I’ll probably go again tmrw :)
