Speakeasy Salsa: Rooftop Sessions 🎹🎤🪘
Join us for an open-air Latin experience blending live music, movement, and skyline views above the city.
As the sun sets and the lights come up, we bring together a live salsa band, curated music, and a room full of people who actually came to dance.
The night begins with a beginner-friendly Salsa On2 class guided alongside live music by 2x Latin Grammy-holding Maria Raquel Quartet — an experience you don’t usually get at a social.
From there, the floor opens, the band takes over, and the night unfolds between rooftop energy and speakeasy intimacy.
Come solo, on a date, or with friends — you won’t stay on the sidelines for long.
Expect:
• Beginner NY Salsa On2 lesson accompanied by Maria Raquel Quartet
• Live band sets + DJ between sets
• Rooftop dancing [weather permitting]
• Indoor speakeasy lounge + full bar
• A curated, social crowd
The Space:
A private Flatiron speakeasy with an open-air rooftop deck — candlelit interiors, skyline views, and just enough room to keep it intimate.
