First Salsa Night @ Chimera Lounge
I used to dance decently well. It’s been a while since I stopped going regularly, though, and it’s amazing how rusty I felt on Thursday night at Chimera Lounge.
Every Thursday night now is Salsa Night at Chimera Lounge in Metro Square (right near Warden & Steeles). For a paltry $5 cover, you get a great little group lesson starting at 8pm. If you’re already a fantastic dancer, you can join in the fun at 9pm (no cover) to relax, chat, have some food & drink, and to dance.
You may have already seen the promo video that I posted on the blog a few weeks back. If you liked what you saw, well, things are starting up now!
As it was the first night this past Thursday, it was just a small group of us there for the salsa. But it was really enjoyable nonetheless. The lesson was great, and I immediately knew several important things:
- I miss dancing – it feels great to be out there!
- I’m incredibly rusty – I’ve forgotten so much!
- Chimera Lounge is a cool little joint for dancing & fun
It will only get better as more people continue to find out about the place, about the salsa night, and join in on the fun.
If I sound like a commercial, it’s because I had a good time there and because the instructor is a friend of mine. If you’re in the area – meaning in Richmond Hill, Markham, or Scarborough! – come on by for a bit of instruction, a bit of fun, and a lot of atmosphere!
Here’s a short clip of my friends Amy & Felix going for a bit of a spin on the dancefloor:
