DESCRIPTION This event was originally started by DJ Alejandro Bouza and held at the Four Points Sheraton a while ago.  Now it is at DanceSport Studios in a nicely equipped dance studio with a good wooden ballroom floor.  There is usually a good size crowd of On 2 dancers at different levels after around 9:30 PM, so there would be partners to dance with.  As it gets later, especially after the performances, more advanced dancers come.  And it is a very friendly crowd which is welcoming to newcomers.  Drink prices for the "specials" are reasonable.  This is where the salseros go to continue dancing after the usual Sunday evening socials.  There are also separate rooms for tango, west coast swing, zouk and kizomba going on at the same time.
