We started with the dance school specializing in Cuban Salsa, Cuban Style, and Rueda de Casino in the capital of Belgium (Brussels), Danza Mania. This academy with more than a decade of experience teaches Salsa classes for all levels with an emphasis on mastering combinations, movements, and figures in a fun and relaxed environment.

The Danza Mania’s motto https://danzamania.be/ is Dancing with Feeling, which is the motive to offer the last free workshop for all Salsa lovers on Friday, September 2nd.

At 7 PM the lessons will begin for those salseros who want to start in Cuban Salsa but don’t worry, they will also teach classes for intermediate and advanced levels. An hour after Salsa Party will begin with DJ Felito, and at 8:45 PM, there will be entertainment with the Danza Mania team. The workshop will end with the last Salsa Party with DJ Felito from 9 PM until dawn. Where? At La Laiterie in the heart of Josaphat Park, 1030, Schaerbeek, Belgium. Dare to participate and have a pleasant recreation at no cost in a warm and welcoming environment.

We continue with the second recommendation in this edition and it is Axxes Café https://www.axxes.be/. In this venue, you can taste delicious Mexican dishes and tasty cocktails.  Additionally you can dance to Latin rhythms such as Southern Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, and Kizomba every first Saturday of the month from 11:30 PM to 3 AM. Admission is free.

DJ Pepe is in charge of making this Salsa night a reality since last Saturday, July 22nd (2022). This resident DJ of Latin night in Belgium for almost two decades traveled for the first time to Old Havana (Cuba) in 1997, where he fell in love with this musical genre. Since then, he has been a faithful lover of Salsa, and is currently the organizer of the Salsa evening at the Salsa Axxes restaurant and café in the Kinepolis complex. Address: Groenendaallaan 396, 2030 Merksem. Enjoy the most southern atmosphere in Belgium!
