The local salsa and Latin-dance scene continues to grow and attract attention, however, is there enough of an audience and dance culture to sustain two weekly events both held on Friday nights in downtown Asheville?
Two different salsa-dance events have been competing for the same crowd on Friday nights in downtown Asheville. Now, the long-running Salseros 828 event at Eleven on Grove is in jeopardy of closing permanently.
Local salsera extraordinaire Maria Voisin has co-organized an “all-inclusive Latin dance retreat for women in the Appalachian Mountains,” held Thursday, Aug. 26 through 29 at Camp Merri-Mac in Black Mountain.
