The 13th Annual Salsa Party at UCLA brings an evening of dancing and live music to the Kerckhoff Grand Salon on UCLA’s campus on Thursday, April 23, 2026, from 7:00–10:00 PM.

The night begins with beginner salsa lessons at 7:30 PM, taught by club co-founders and professional instructors. At 9:00 PM, the floor opens up for social dancing with live salsa music featuring Pablo Mendez & Milan Mendez.

Admission is free, and donations and annual club memberships are welcomed to help cover event costs and support future club events. It’s a friendly fit for first-timers who want a guided start, as well as dancers who want to settle in for the live set and social.
