LEARN TO SALSA DANCE

Meet up at the Peace Fountain on Windsor’s riverfront tonight, Thursday, June 30, and learn how to salsa dance! No dance experience or partner is needed, there will be a free beginner dance lesson at 7:30pm.

The temperature will get quite hot so please bring lots of water and take frequent breaks to stay cool. Bring sunscreen and bug spray as well. The pavement is quite rough, so smooth bottom sneakers are best when dancing on this surface.
