Dancing at a Nightclub
At the Bar

Dancing at a Nightclub by Cari Luna

Ah, music, the international language. Once it starts, you're right at home in any language, right? Good for you. Ladies, do please note that if you're in a salsa club you may encounter a custom known as sacar a bailar. A man may grab your hand and pull you toward the dance floor. Feel free to say “no,” but don't be offended and overreact. It's all just a part of the salsa game.
