Oh my did we have fun at Calypso, a salsa club preferred by locals of all ages. A great, authentic local scene, open 7 days a week. Believe it when they say it doesn’t get going until midnight. Its true. We went four nights in a row. Saturday night was THE scene. We danced all night long to the point of exhaustion and sore feet. I must admit I was a bit intimidated at the start. Really good salsa dancing is fantastic to watch. If you just like to sip drinks and watch, you’re more than welcome. I danced, and danced, and danced. Local men are not at all shy about walking right up to you and asking you to dance, and are gracious about demonstrating the steps. Now I stand at an even six feet, but caught the eye of five foot two Alberto, who had me whipping around the crowded floor complete with dips and turns. I left with a rose, a few crushed toes and some great memories. ***Don’t miss***
