Cruise!  Once again, all kinds of groups are booked for this Sunday on the Salsa Cruises, it should be a hopping party!  This Sunday we've got a bachelorette party (guys, pay attention!), a couple of big birthday groups, and a salsa class outing.  Come down, meet some new people, and have a great time!  Lesson, Dancing, Great People, Food, Sightseeing, Free Drinks (at Mojitos after), all in one night.   The cruises have been amazing, and on behalf of my staff as well, I want to say it's been a real joy to host them.

BOOK A GROUP!  Only $25 gets you the full package with food and the lesson.  Corporate parties welcome.   Talk to your HR people (they have funds to pay for it sometimes even!) or let us know and we'll contact them for you.

An Tua Nua is a great contemporary Irish bar & grill on Beacon Street just outside of Kenmore Square (only about 3 blocks from Sophia's).  In the back they have a dance club about the same size as the upstairs at Sophia's, with a sizable dance floor that holds about 150 people, a bar, and plenty of lounge seating. 

Close to the green line (St. Mary's on the C train, Fenway on the D, Kenmore on the B), plenty of street and lot parking.

Irish/America/Bar food available until 10pm.  I have eaten there regularly, it is very tasty and modestly priced.

Note: they have Karaoke with my man Kev-Mac Daddy in the front portion of the bar when you walk in, but don't let that scare you... Salsa is in the back room!  Full Bar.  Please check your coat.
