Come check out the Best Latin Dance spot in Hendersonville at Continuum Art for a fun night of primarily salsa & bachata with some merengue, cumbia, and cha-cha. A free lesson will be offered in the back room, followed by social dancing on the huge, beautiful wood floors in the main room with an incredible DJ on the stage. Large event space with plenty of room for social distancing and ceiling and floor fans circulating throughout the night for great airflow as the vintage garage doors and windows stay open during warmer temperatures.
