7/5/25 💃🕺 Saturday Latin Nights at ALOFT Richmond

Saturday Latin Nights at Aloft Richmond West Short Pump offers a fantastic opportunity for dance enthusiasts and beginners alike to immerse themselves in the rich culture of Latin dance styles. The event features popular rhythms such as Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, and Kizomba, each bringing unique steps and vibrant energy to the dance floor.

Salsa, originating from Cuba and popularized in New York City, is known for its quick footwork and lively partner connections. Bachata, originating from the Dominican Republic, offers a more sensual and rhythmic style that emphasizes hip movement and close partner work.

Kizomba, with roots in Angola, provides a slower, smooth, and intimate partner dance experience. Masks are optional, catering to attendees’ comfort preferences, and ticket prices are affordable at $5 cash or $5.99 by card, making it an accessible night out for Richmond locals and visitors.
