A Jersey Tribute to Salsa

A night honoring the legends of salsa - live band, DJ, dance lesson, couples competition with a $250 grand prize, cocktails, and a packed dance floor at Porta Montclair.

Latinos of Montclair invites you to A Tribute to Salsa - a celebration of the music that moved generations, from the Fania era of New York to the streets of Cali and Havana. We're paying homage to the legends: Celia Cruz, Héctor Lavoe, Willie Colón, Rubén Blades, Tito Puente, El Gran Combo, Grupo Niche, Buena Vista Social Club, and more.

Whether you've been dancing since before you could walk or you've never taken a single step, this night is for you. All levels and all styles welcome.
