Salsa & Bachata Dance Party @ Love Park

About this event

Philly’s most diverse outdoor Latin dance party returns every Friday this summer (through September) at Love Park in Center City, Philadelphia. The evening kicks off with a fun and accessible salsa and bachata lesson at 7 PM, led by the talented instructors of Dance Republic. No partner or prior experience is needed—just come ready to move!

After the lesson, the plaza transforms into an open-air dance floor, with DJ Kevin Ngo spinning the hottest salsa, bachata, and merengue tracks all night long. Expect a vibrant crowd of dancers from all levels, from absolute beginners to seasoned social dancers, creating a welcoming and festive atmosphere.

Love Park, officially known as John F. Kennedy Plaza, is one of Philadelphia’s most iconic spots, famous for its LOVE sculpture and lively city energy. Dancing under the skyline with the fountain as your backdrop makes this event a truly unique Philly experience.

This weekly summer social is free and open to the public. Bring friends, grab some comfortable shoes, and enjoy an unforgettable night of music, dance, and community right in the heart of the city!
