About

At Salsa Secrets, we are proud of developing an open, supportive dance community. In 2018, we created Salsa in the Park and BEACHata as free events on the Seacoast of NH. Salsa in the Park and BEACHata are an opportunity for dancers, community members, and families to come together in celebration. These events give us all an opportunity to dance outside in the summer months, free of charge. Everyone is welcome. Salsa in the Park will include a 30 minute salsa footwork combination, followed by social dancing. BEACHata will include a 30 minute lesson, followed by social dancing. This event series is possible because of our flourishing relationships with the City of Portsmouth NH and Prescott Park. We are eternally grateful for their support, as well as the support of the dance community.

The power of being in the here and now.

Salsa in the Park Portsmouth NH
You have to love dancing to stick to it. It gives you nothing back, no manuscripts to store away, no paintings to show on walls and maybe hang in museums, no poems to be printed and sold, nothing but that single fleeting moment when you feel alive.
— Merce Cunningham
