Second Saturday Salsa & Bachata Social

21:00 – 00:30
Reverie Ballroom – Seattle, WA, United States

Salsa is a Latin dance influenced by several styles, like mambo and rumba. The dance is characterized by energetic footwork, spins, and turns. We teach On1, which is characterized by a lot of spinning and dancing in a slot (unlike Cuban or Cumbia styles). Bachata is a Latin dance from the Dominican Republic characterized by sexy body movement, syncopated footwork and free style moves that alternate between closed and open position. We teach both Dominican Style Bachata (footwork & musicality) and Modern Style Bachata (patterns & close embrace). This event will feature live music! Beginner Lesson: 8:30pm to 9:30pm Social Dance: 9:30pm to 1:00am Live Music: TBA Age Requirement: 21+

Frequently Asked Questions & Dancer Intel

Everything You Need to Know Before Dancing in Seattle

What is the primary salsa dance style in Seattle?

In Seattle, the salsa scene features a vibrant blend of On2 (Mambo) and All Styles and Cali / Colombian and Cuban (Casino) and On1. Most weekly socials play 60% Salsa and 40% Bachata, with dedicated rooms or sets for classic Mambo On2 and Cuban Timba.

Do I need a dance partner to attend salsa socials or classes in Seattle?

No partner is required. Group classes in Seattle operate on mandatory partner rotation so every dancer practices with multiple partners. At social dances, it is standard etiquette for leads and follows of all skill levels to ask each other for a dance.

What time do salsa socials start and peak in Seattle?

Most salsa socials open with an introductory beginner lesson around 20:00–21:00, followed by open social dancing. Peak dance floor energy usually runs from 22:30 until 02:00, with European clubs often continuing until 04:00 or later.

What is the dress code for salsa dancing in Seattle?

Smart casual is standard. Beginners can wear comfortable sneakers or flat shoes with low-traction soles that allow easy turning on hardwood floors. Regular dancers use suede or leather-soled Latin dance shoes. Breathable fabrics are strongly recommended.
