Learn new moves, meet new friends and dance under the stars!
Westchester County Parks will bring the rhythms of salsa to Glen Island Park in New Rochelle with two summer dance nights on Thursday, July 10 and Thursday, Aug. 14.
Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned salsero, all dance levels are welcome! The evening kicks off with a free Salsa lesson from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., taught by expert instructors from Arthur Murray Dance Studios. Then, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., the dance floor opens up for you to show off your new moves to the sounds of lively Latin beats.
Salsa is known for its vibrant footwork, smooth spins and energetic partner connection. Set to infectious music, it’s the perfect way to get moving, meet new people and celebrate summer on the waterfront.
County Executive Ken Jenkins said: “These events are wonderful ways to bring people together through music and movement. Whether you’re dancing or just enjoying the vibe, it’s a joyful night out in a beautiful park.”
Parks Commissioner Kathy O’Connor added: “There’s nothing like dancing outside at Glen Island on a warm summer evening. We’re thrilled to offer free, inclusive programs that celebrate culture and community.”
Admission is free and open to Westchester County residents only. Parking fees apply.
The events are sponsored by Arthur Murray Dance Studios, with locations in Eastchester, Mount Kisco and White Plains.
Glen Island Park is located on Weyman Avenue in New Rochelle.
