Salsa Sunday had Normandy Fountain moving! 💃🕺

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an incredible evening of live music, dancing and community with the fabulous Melina Almodóvar ( @melinasalsamusic ), “La Muñeca de la Salsa!”

The night also featured a special opening performance by Area Stage’s Inclusion Theatre Project ( @ascitp ) along with incredible dancers who kept the energy going and the crowd moving all night long.

Salsa Sunday is part of South Beach Jazz Festival and Power Access’ commitment to creating experiences where music brings people of all abilities together. From the dance floor to the stage, inclusion is always part of the celebration.

We loved seeing so many of you dancing, connecting and enjoying a beautiful Sunday night in Miami Beach.
