Most of us in the South Bay are aware that El Pollo Inka is one of the hottest places in the South Bay for Salsa on Friday and Saturday nights. But did you know they also have dancing on Sunday too! SSB.com just recently learned that lessons and dancing are now being offered on Sundays.
The lessons are taught by Latin Dance Forever. The first lesson begins at 5pm for the beginners, and the intermediate class starts at 6pm. They have a class plus dinner package for only $15! There are also Bachata lessons. For more information on the classes CLICK HERE.
