“Who needs Tinder when you have dance?” Said basically no one… until Salsa Speed Dating came onto the scene.
Sure, Hinge can help you bond over which celebrity you’d invite to a dinner party, and Happn will let you connect with people you’ve literally crossed paths with (this will always be creepy), but salsa? Salsa offers a totally unique way of getting to know one another. No, it’s not the hottest new dating app, it’s actually been around for years. And—shock horror!—it involves meeting people IRL.
Salsa has been bringing couples together for years, so who’s to say it can’t be the catalyst to finding the person of your dreams? Originating from Cuban folk dances, salsa involves taking three steps for every four beats of music. That’s right – skipping a beat, just like your heart. Eh? EH?!?!
This fun and friendly dance and dating mashup is a refreshing way to meet other like-minded singletons. You’ll enjoy an hour of salsa dancing led by a professional instructor, where you’ll mingle with a bunch of potential suitors. And, if you meet someone special or you need some more time, you can continue the night at the MetroLatina club night. You won’t need sappy chat up lines, because you’ll already have the moves…
Salsa Speed Dating will take place at Bar Salsa! in Charing Cross, on February 20 and February 27. Tickets cost £12, and include the dance lesson and entrance to MetroLatina. Purchase them here.
