Back when I first started going to salsa clubs, my friends and I would get a dance lesson, half price drinks, all you can eat buffet, and a live band playing for us all for FREE. It's not like that any more but your admission ticket still INCLUDES all of these things. The salsa scene in Manhattan has exploded recently and now every single party charges cover. Don't believe me? Prove me wrong and I would gladly tell everyone about the party you found. Despite the cover charge, I still think your getting ALOT of value with your admission ticket so it's certainly worth checking out.
