New to Latin dance? Even better. No experience or dance partner is required. Come early for dinner and the lesson, learn a few moves and then stay as the lights go down, the music goes up and Cuba Libre’s transportive open-air courtyard transforms into one of Old City’s most energetic dance floors.

Whether you come to learn, dance, grab a late-night bite or do a little of everything, Salsa Libre is your weekly excuse to leave the everyday behind.

No cover. Free lessons. $5 drinks. $10 late-night eats. A little taste of Havana every Thursday night.
