Salsa@6 still holding strong

It's high-energy, It's culture, It's food, It's fun, It’s … Salsa@6. That is the slogan used for one of Indy's newly established salsa venue. We all have seen salsa venues come and go and when you hear about a new venue you ask yourself is this one is going to last?

Salsa@6 created by Roz Wells officially kicked off on November 2, 2006 making it a year old! Most new salsa venues are lucky to last a couple of months and closed down because the bar does not make enough cash.

So what's their secret? One is the owner Dave, he has been running a Latin night (which happens to occur later that night) for the last 9 years and he knows that it takes time to build up a Latin/salsa night. This event runs from 6pm to 9pm and does not compete with the prime nightclub hours. Last and most importantly is the people. Every Thursday you will find Roz's crew. This insures that you will always have someone to socialize and dance with.

Note to the Latin and salsa promoters out there. Take Salsa@6's model and apply it to your own. Salsa is about the dancing and community and one cannot survive without the other.

Till next time see you on the dance floor
