This week why not spice things up with a spot of salsa dancing and a side of tapas. Maybe you’re looking for a way to rekindle your romance, or perhaps you have the unfettering urge to shake your hips, Latin dancing is not only a great way to get some exercise but is also considered the sexiest of all dancing (the Beyoncè booty shake not included). If you think you’d be best at a lively Samba or a slow and sensual Bachata, check out these venues for both learning how to dance or simply joining in the fun at a social dance.
