Honoring Heritage
Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month
Havana Nights is proud to honor National Hispanic Heritage Month by celebrating the rich history, rhythm, and cultural artistry of Latin dance and music.
From the origins of son, mambo, and salsa in Cuba and Puerto Rico to the vibrant dance communities of New York City and beyond, salsa is more than a dance—it is a global movement rooted in joy, storytelling, and connection. Join us as we pay homage to these traditions with authentic instruction, Latin rhythms, and an inclusive community gathering in the heart of downtown New Milford.
