About Bar Available
Candela Fridays is a long-running, ticketed Friday salsa social held on the second floor of You Should Be Dancing, the entry uses door code 1363#. The space is a studio set-up: a broad open dance floor with a DJ corner, seating along the edges and a bar tucked at the back. Reviews consistently note a spacious floor and a core of serious NYC dancers.
There’s a drop-in class before the party, then DJs run the night; some events include live bands or showtime. The music stays focused on salsa with a mix of DJ and occasional live sets. Tickets are typically $20 online / $25 at the door and venue hours list the party 21:00–02:00 on Fridays. If you want the lesson plus a full floor to practice, arrive early; if you’re after peak social dancing, plan to stay late.
