Let’s Dance Boston: Salsa

The party is back on the Greenway this September, when Let’s Dance Boston returns to Dewey Square!

Five days, five live bands, five teams of instructors. Each day’s event opens with a lesson from top local dance teachers that will give you the basic steps you’ll need to have a great time.

Then, a live band takes the stage for a 90-minute set where you can try out what you just learned.

Let’s Dance Boston is for you: for beginners, for experienced dancers, for anyone who wants to let loose, have fun, and celebrate dance from around the world in one of Boston’s most beautiful and inviting public spaces.

Come as you are, no tickets required, but we invite you to sign up here for updates.
