Morning Salsa Dance With Seniors
OK maybe this isn’t technically “nightlife”, unless you’re still up from last night. Boogie with Old Folks shaking their booties to some sweet salsa jams in the streets of Old Havana. If you don’t know how to dance salsa, this is an excellent chance to give it a try knowing that the little old person you’re dancing with will probably be a much better dancer than you. This fun and endearing activity is produced by ArteCorte, a neighborhood project.
