Salsa in Minneapolis
Our style? In the Twin Cities we have a mix
of the back-step or what some call the
Cumbia style and the "front-step" or some
even call it the "L.A. style". We break on
"one."
Please note: I provide the most up to date club
schedules that I am aware of. However,
club schedules are always subject to change. Please call and confirm before you
