What is a social?

iFreeStyle salsa socials provide a non-intimidating, casual environment for salsa lovers in Toronto/GTA to gather, meet new people and dance the night away. We invite you join us for a fun night of dancing and meet dancers of all levels who share the same passion for salsa.

If you are a new to salsa, it's a great place to be inspired by experienced dancers and practice your newest moves! We even offer a FREE Taste of On2 (Beginner Salsa On2) lesson for you and any friends who want to try it out! For the hardcore salsero be ready to get your fix on one of the best hardwood floors in the city!

Just bring your dance shoes and dance! Everyone is welcome!
