Bronx’s Salsa Night Sways in Fordham

Fordham grooved last night with the Bronx’s Salsa Night, spinning NYC’s spring on April 10. Dancer Sofia Chen led spins as 200 swayed, a $10 ticket bash on University Avenue. It’s borough rhythm—pure BX vibe, horns hot. A kid tripped a step; a pro twirled a dip. ‘Bronx dances—this is it,’ Chen says, cueing brass. The hall turned ballroom.

The night’s fresh—April 10’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing floors by 8 p.m. Chen’s a Mott Haven stepper; last night’s crowd hit max—beats thumped. A latecomer nabbed a spot; lights flashed—NYC grit glowed. Sets hit five—moves ruled. #BronxSalsa trended; Manhattan wants a spin.

Some griped—’Too fast,’ sniped a newbie, dodging turns. A speaker popped—fixed quick; rhythm held. A rival’s pitching a Soundview sway, splitting dancers. Still, 300 stayed—grooves reigned. Fordham’s never swayed so bold.

Chen’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a park if spring warms. ‘NYC’s pulse—this pumps it,’ she says, packing tracks. The night’s a Bronx win—grit meets flow. It’s a salsa rush; catch the next. Bring shoes—beats call.
