We love to dance salsa, but frankly have never mastered it. We need help, people! That's why we're heading to Hudson River Park tonight and every Tuesday night through August 27 for sunset salsa with Talia!

Talia Castro-Pozo is a Peruvian ballet dancer that moved to New York to study at the School of American Ballet. She expanded her dance abilities by training in other forms of dance including modern, ballroom and salsa. For over 17 years she's managed dance studios and trained dance instructors and now, you can learn salsa moves from this pro for free--nada dinero!

All levels are welcome (phew!), and no partners or previous experience are needed (double phew!).
Just head to Pier 45 at Christopher Street Thursday nights at 6:30. Lessons last an hour, then from 7:30 from 9:00 p.m., students have a chance to show off their moves in an open dance party.
It's fun, it's sexy and it's free. What more could you want?
