“As a CU student, musician, and Latin music addict from Miami, I get stoked when I learn of Salsa Ithaca’s next live music event or dance party from the newsletter.
I started learning Salsa and Bachata with Salsa Ithaca instructors and now I teach dance, perform and help organize events as part of the Salsa Ithaca production team.”
