STOP THE PRESSES!

Salsa Wednesdays is Moving!

SalsaBoston is pleased to announce that Salsa Wednesdays is moving to Sagra Restaurant in Davis Square, starting Wednesday, May 6!

After some four years at An Tua Nua, SalsaBoston and the ATN management amicably agreed we needed a new home, something elegant, without Red Sox parking hassles, and more in tune with the needs of Salsero patrons. We'd like to extend our thanks to Joey and Kevin and the ATN Staff for hosting us for so long and a lot of fun times.

May 6 and May 13 will be "preview nights" at Sagra, followed by our official opening celebration on May 20. We will be featuring beginner and intermediate Salsa lessons with Salsa Y Control/Johnny & Kelly at 9pm as usual, followed by Salsa and Latin dancing by DJ's Hernan, D. Martinez and guests. Note that the lessons and music will start in a timely manner.

Opening Schedule (for the next three weeks):

  • Wednesday, May 6: "Preview Night I": Free before 10pm, $5 after 10pm RSVP HERE »
  • Wednesday, May 13: "Preview Night II": Free before 10pm, $10 after 10pm
  • Wednesday, May 20: Grand Opening Celebration!
  • Thereafter Salsa Wednesdays will be open as usual (for our 9th year running)

What's a "Preview Night," you ask? Before our official grand opening celebration on May 20, we're hosting two of these, during which we're going to be figuring out the place--stuff like dialing in the lighting, sound system, traffic flow in the club, figuring out which drinks are the best, and so on. Oh yes, it'll be a full fledged Salsa party, but we're asking our loyal patrons to bear with us as we work the kinks out! RSVP here.

Unfortunately there is presently no space available from 7-9 pm for MetaMovements to offer their personalized salsa & rueda lessons...but we there are plans in the works to re-incorporate those lessons later this summer. Read on.

Sagra Restaurant is an upscale Italian place, elegantly decorated with a nice bar, comfortable booths, great lighting and atmosphere, and a fantastic location.

- located 100 yards from the Davis Square Red Line station
- wood dance floor
- free municipal lot parking (big lot across the street and ample others peppered around the area)
- a clubby feel with lighting, DJ booth & sound
- video (we'll be showing dance videos and photos as we did occasionally years ago)
- full Italian dinner menu (NOTE: kitchen closes at 10pm)
- a Latino co-owner who knows what Salsa is about
- we're working on possible 18+ admission--stay tuned later this summer
- and much more!

The space is moderate in size at present, and we're even more excited that later this summer Sagra will be building out its upstairs space into an upscale 2000+sf dance hall, ideal for Salseros and a Boston _rarity_! We'll have a stage as well, so we look forward to hosting live music periodically.

Please join us starting May 6 as we celebrate the past and the future of SalsaBoston's Salsa Wednesdays!

Stay tuned for more details on the SalsaBoston Website and Emails.
