The purpose and mission of The Salsa Club at UCR is to create a passionate and supportive student community that aims to share the skill, knowledge, and joy of salsa dancing and related dances. We provide instruction in the basics of salsa, bachata, tango, and other latin dances which are growing in popularity within local salsa clubs and Latin dance clubs. We aim to provide an environment where practice of the above dances can be executed, to provide a social network that focuses on dancing events and activities, and to provide a portal for individuals with similar interests to meet and interact. This organization originally began back in the summer of 2001 when some of the UCR student members of the Ballroom and Swing Club of UCR (BaSC) branched off towards a love of salsa. The club lasted several strong years before losing active status due to various issues, but was reformed in Fall of 2012 by UCR students who were inspired to give new life to the Salsa Club at UCR after hearing stories from the club alumni of their life-changing experiences during their time in the organization. Our goal as the new generation of the Salsa Club at UCR is to ensure a continued, thriving existence for the club with the addition of a very supportive network of alumni in the salsa community as a way for the members of the Riverside Salsa Family to continue growing and supporting this gateway to a life-long gift of dance, friendship, and perhaps love! We meet every Friday from 5:00-7:00pm at SRC north MPR B! No need to register in advance! See you there!
