SATURDAY NIGHT SALSA!!

Maybe Memphis is better known for its Rock'n Roll and Blues legacies but that certainly doesn't mean that latin grooves aren't anywhere to be found in this town. On the cache corner of 111 Jackson Ave. High Poin Cafe is the host of free saturday night salsa lessons and late night latin grooves on the bar's dance floor. Why any restless-and not to mention, poor- college kid wouldn't spend a saturday night here I do not understand. Are there any other deals like this near midtown? Other dance styles perhaphs? If not, there should be! A local bar could undoubtedly increases its weekend revenue, help easily bring in crowds to fill the room, and give you and your visitores another thing to hype up about the joint. Not to mention any dance companies that offer this deal get the opportunity for client raising plugs. I know- other events like this go on in memphis every so often- i.e. The Gibson Lounge's Techno bash etc., but in other cities such as Chicago, free (or otherwise ridiculously cheap) indoor and outdoor dance lessons are standard and under everyone's radar. This weekend my group was the only representative from the 19-25 yr. age group. This needs to change!
