Bronx’s Dance Workshop Grooves in Mott Haven

Mott Haven moved last night with the Bronx’s Dance Workshop, stepping NYC’s spring at a 138th Street studio. Dancer Tariq Evans taught salsa as 50 swayed, a $15 class for rhythm kids. It’s borough beats—pure BX vibe, floors hot. A kid tripped a turn; a pro spun smooth. ‘Bronx grooves—this is it,’ Evans says, counting beats. The room turned ballroom.

The shop’s fresh—March 30’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing space by 6 p.m. Evans, a Fordham stepper; last night’s crowd hit max—feet tapped. A latecomer nabbed a spot; music blared—NYC grit glowed. Steps hit sync—dance ruled. #BronxDance trended; Queens wants a twirl.

Some griped—’Too fast,’ sniped a newbie, dodging spins. Space pinched—latecomers stood; groove held. A shoe slipped—tied quick; flow rolled. Staten wants a turn, but Mott Haven owns it—beats rule. The studio’s never grooved so bold.

Evans hints at a showcase, maybe a park if spring bites. ‘NYC’s pulse—this moves it,’ he says, packing tunes. The shop’s a Bronx win—grit meets sway. It’s a dance rush; join the next. Bring shoes—rhythm calls.
