Salsa Class with Marlon!

Join Marlon, a former El Ballet Español de Cuba member, for an introduction to Salsa dancing class for adults!

This 6-week program will review the foundations of salsa dancing steps, rhythm, timing, partner holds, lead and hand positions for transitions and turns, and expressive ways to add flair and personality to your dance. Perfect for beginners.

Towel Rental Service Ending in 2025

We will no longer be offering towel rentals. While this service has been a convenient option for some, very few members use it, and it has become quite costly for us to maintain.

We appreciate your understanding as we make this change to better allocate our limited resources.

Thank You for Your Community Support

Thank you to everyone who donated clothing for the Blanchet House Clothing Drive. Our community organizers, Cynthia Wojack and Bill West collected three bins full of shirts, coats, pants, and socks to support our fellow Portlanders who need warm clothing this winter. Thank you for your community support! 💚
