Special EventManhattanParks Department

Few things beat free outdoor dancing on a summer night, and Pa' La Calle turns Bella Abzug Park into a Hudson Yards dance floor with Somos Latin Dance: a beginner lesson to get everyone moving, then open social dancing to salsa, bachata and more. No partner or experience needed, just a willingness to step out. If you want a joyful, welcoming way to spend a Wednesday evening, it's one of the city's best free dance scenes.

What to expect

Expect a guided beginner lesson followed by open social dancing on the park plaza, with a friendly mix of newcomers and experienced dancers. Come solo or with friends; partners are rotated during lessons, so you don't need to bring one.
