Dance Socials

Salsa Sundays: SalsaStar is holding Latin Dance socials (lesson+practice) at Jungle Bar in Jaco from 7-9 PM. We ask that you arrive on time if possible and kindly give a $5 donation (or other) directly to Wendy or Andres to cover your lesson and practice participation.

Not comfortable in smoky bars and loud clubs where you can't have a conversation? Would you like to go out at night but you are not into Jaco's party scene? SalsaStar's Latin dancing classes and practice parties (socials) may be just right for you!

SalsaStar proudly offers dance socials: practice parties that allow students to meet and practice their new dance steps together in a pleasant, safe environment.  We have socials for adults and separate parties for teens and children. We also have 55 and up events and specific cross-class mixers.

We offer a wholesome environment in which the focus is on friendship and dancing. There is no alcohol and no smoking allowed at the socials that are held at the studio. Smokers may smoke outdoors in the public areas of the mall. if desired. At least once a month,  socials will be held at local restaurants or clubs and naturally will be subject only to the rules of the venue.

Both singles and couples are welcome. Couples are offered an optional couples stamp on their name tags, which helps singles distinguish between potential new friends and potential new dates.  For everyone, our socials, as well as our classes, offer a fantastic business networking opportunity in which foreign-born residents, Costa Ricans, and tourists have positive face-to-face interaction in a fun environment.

Upon checking in, each participant will receive a name tag. We start with a formal "get-acquainted" lesson which allows students from different classes to meet each other prior to open dancing. Then, the lights are dimmed, the disco lights are turned on and the floor is open for dancing. Refreshments and a snack are  sold at studio socials.

 At least once a month, socials will be held at a local nightclub or restaurant in Jacó, Hermosa, or Herradura. Venues who are interested in hosting our socials are encouraged to contact us!
