Three things make the night worth the trip, all taken from the listing. First, two dance classes come before the party, so a first-timer can learn the steps rather than watch from the wall. Second, the music is played by a live band alongside DJs, which is a different thing from a playlist. Third, the programming covers salsa, bachata, cumbia and reggaeton, so a dancer is not stuck with one rhythm all night.

The night runs from 7:00 PM until 1:30 AM, which leaves room to take the classes and still have a long stretch of open dancing after.

The order of the night is the draw. The evening opens with instruction, so nobody has to walk onto a dance floor cold. Sebastian James teaches the 7 PM bachata class, and Rafael Salsero follows at 8 PM with salsa. By the time the live band and DJs start, the steps are fresh.

The music is billed as favorite Latin hits. That makes it a fit for people who know the steps and want a full floor, and for people who have never danced either style and would rather learn from a teacher than a friend. The Thursday version of the room, covered in Thursday salsa, bachata and happy hour at La Rumba, is a different night.

Couples, friend groups and dancers at any level will find a place here. Birthday groups get a specific option: a VIP table can be reserved by calling 720.276.8122. Anyone planning to dance until the end should book a rideshare or other ride home in advance, since the night runs well after midnight.

The event is 21 and over. Ticket holders who cannot show valid ID proving they are at least 21 will not be admitted and are not eligible for a refund. See the price at the seller on the ticket page before you buy.

The first class starts at 7 PM, so arriving by then catches the whole program, including the salsa lesson an hour later. Showing up after 8 PM means missing the instruction and landing in the dancing, which is fine if the steps are already familiar. The night ends at 1:30 AM, and hours can change, so confirm on the ticket page.

Do I need to know how to dance? No. A bachata class and a salsa class come before the open dancing.

Who teaches the classes? Sebastian James leads bachata at 7 PM, and Rafael Salsero leads salsa at 8 PM.

Can I bring someone under 21? No. The event is 21 and over, and anyone without valid ID showing they are at least 21 will not be admitted.

How do I reserve a VIP table? Call 720.276.8122, an option the listing offers for birthday celebrations.

What time does it end? 1:30 AM.
