You will hear salsa music playing throughout Latin America and perhaps more than any other popular musical genre, it crosses the generational gap from teenagers to grandparents.

And along with two-step, it's one of the only remaining commonly danced partner dances still frequently seen at clubs and parties.

A great way to experience this dance in Vallarta is to hit a salsa club and one of the best in the city is La Bodeguita del Medio, located on the famous Puerto Vallarta Malecon.

Cuba is regarded as the birthplace of salsa and Bodeguita del Medio brings that Cuban flavor to Puerto Vallarta. So be sure to loosen up before hitting the dance floor with one of their Mojitos, a delicious and refreshing drink made with rum and fresh mint leaves.

Their live band plays great music that includes all of the sub-genres of salsa music like cumbia, bachata and meringue and even those with two-left feet will be inspired to hit the dance floor, particularly after being aided by the free salsa lessons offered early in the night which cover all of the basic steps needed to salsa all night long.

La Bodeguita del Medio also serves lunch and dinner with a menu that specializes in Cuban fare and fresh seafood from Banderas Bay.

So get out and give salsa dancing a try... It's sure to be one of the most fun nights you'll have in Puerto Vallarta.
