| DESCRIPTION |
Fellow dancer and On 2 instructor
Nick Messina of Bongo
Loco has been running this popular classic mambo social for more
than 5 years. All dancers are invited to come party
in the very large Stepping Out ballroom. The atmosphere is casual
and friendly, kind of like a salsa nightclub party. The room is
decorated like a nightclub, with low colored lighting and cloth covered
tables. Water, sodas and sports drinks, etc. are
sold.
This event is held in the very large Stepping Out Studios where many of our On 2
events have been held in the past. The dance floor is huge with
plenty of room for all the dancers. It is a professional-level
wooden floor that is "medium speed". The sound system is
big and professional and the atmosphere is very friendly with regulars and
newcomers too. The full range of dancers attend, from beginner to
advanced.
