Tell us a about Urban Salsa?
Urban Salsa has been operating in Parramatta since 2013 and has become the home of Latin dance in Western Sydney. We’ve created a real community of Latin dancers. Everyone is friendly, the classes and events are fun and everyone is welcome.
What do you think Urban Salsa brings to the night-time economy of Parramatta?
Urban Salsa provides a venue for anyone that wants to learn Latin dance. Through learning the dance, you also learn about the music, the culture and the origins of the music and dance. The Latin dance scene has a culture of its own, this friendly and social environment is what Urban Salsa brings to Parramatta. After work, you can join in the classes in the evenings where you not only learn how to dance, but you also get to socialise with a lot of people in a safe, positive space. Our events on Friday and Saturday nights are one of a kind in Parramatta and we’re looking to add more events to get the whole of Parramatta dancing. Now that we've set up here and we are building up the Latin dance scene, and Parramatta growing as much as it has, we now have a great range of restaurants, high-end restaurants, bars and clubs, you don't have to travel to the city if you don't want to.
