This Friday social is an outdoor, free Latin dance on the riverside plaza at Reddacliff Place — opposite the old Treasury casino and a short walk from Queen Street. The organisers post updates in a Facebook group; expect a DJ/playlist mixing salsa, bachata, merengue and reggaeton rather than a live band. There’s no door or cloakroom — the "room" is the paved public plaza with benches and low walls that double as seating.
It’s an informal drop-in: no advertised warm-up class, the crowd is a mix of locals and visitors, and the meet-up can be small or spill into nearby paths depending on weather. Because Reddacliff Place is a public park it closes at 21:00 — plan to arrive early and bring layers and shoes for a hard surface. Check the Facebook group the night before for cancellations or last-minute location changes.
