MAMBROSO x Matchbox: 30s/40s
Includes: 1 Salsa lesson, 1 Unforgettable night, and 1 room full of intentional singles, matching powered by Matchbox*.***
Are you ready for Mambo & Matches? Join us in the Flatiron District for an evening of dancing, city views, and meeting your most compatible match!
Matching will be powered by Matchbox. It’s a software that uses relationship science to find you your most compatible match at the party. The algorithm has matched more than half a million people to date, across 40 countries. It optimizes for long-term compatibility, based on values—but it’s up to you to see if you’ll click.
How it works:
Upon arrival, you’ll take a matching questionnaire built by Matchbox's team of relationship scientists and curated by your host.
The Matchbox algorithm will identify your optimal match at the party, based on relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning economics.
After mingling with the whole group, matches are revealed!
Ticket Includes:
1 free salsa lesson, intentional singles, and a matching experience.
Who it’s for:
This event is for people in their 30s and 40s
Age will be verified during check-in.
If you are not within the listed age range you will be dismissed from the event without refund.
What to expect:
The matching process is highly intentional—come with an open mind.
If your match isn’t love at first sight, that’s okay! The algorithm is designed for long-term compatibility, so at baseline, you’ll be values-aligned.
At the end of the day, this will be a great group of single people. Enjoy meeting everyone, and remember to be kind.

FAQs:
Q: What age range is the event for? A: This event is for thirties and forties.
Q: What if I don't get a match? A: We aim to maintain a 50/50 male to female ratio but cannot guarantee that all attendees will show up, as life happens. If there is an uneven split, some matches will be paired platonically. These people receive a free ticket to a future event of their choice, valid for 60 days after this event.
Q: Do I need dance shoes? A: No! Guests will leave street shoes in the lobby and dance barefoot or in socks.
Q: What should I wear? A: Dress to impress (this is a dating event after-all) but be prepared to sweat a little.
