As far as Salsa. I’ve never been, but seems like it is more of a college hang-out with the occassional exhibition style choreographed or partner-patterend performances vs a true social salsa club. But, I’ve never been so I could be wrong.

Once upon a time Providence had popular monthly dance that pulled dancers from all around the region.

Your caveat about not looking for the “wedding style” dance lessons tells me you have a clue about what true social dancing provides. Also, your emphasis on movement translating to potential dance interests is really telling of your interest and appreciation. Good luck!! I’ve been away from the social dance scene for too long, but pandemic has definitely had an impact. I sense the community anchors have somewhat lost hold, but hopefully I am wrong.

DM me if you’d like to chat more. I hope you and your partner the best. Also, remember, Love to Dance, Don’t Dance to Love. Dance with as many people as possible!!!
