Salsa is first and foremost a social arena, not a dating service – but yes, many have met love on the dance floor. When you dance regularly, you will naturally meet someone with whom you get good chemistry. There are countless examples of salsa couples who met as single dancers; Instructors tell of students who started dancing together and ended up dating, getting married, and even having children.

That said, it is a good idea to enter the salsa environment with the main focus on the dance and the social, not just looking for a partner. Most people come to dance and have fun – any romantic sparks arise organically along the way. So yes, salsa may be a great place to meet a potential girlfriend, precisely because you meet so many people in a relaxed setting. But either way, you’ll make new friends and memories into the bargain, so you’ll win no matter what!
