Bronx’s Salsa Night Sways in Fordham

Fordham spun last night with the Bronx’s Salsa Night, grooving NYC’s spring at a University Avenue bar. Dancer Tariq Evans led dips as 200 swayed, a $10 ticket bash of steps. It’s borough rhythm—pure BX vibe, horns hot. A kid tripped a turn; a pro spun a twirl. ‘Bronx sways—this is it,’ Evans says, cueing brass. The room turned dancehall.

The night’s fresh—March 12’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing floors by 8 p.m. Evans, a Mott Haven stepper; last night’s crowd hit max—beats thumped. A latecomer nabbed a spot; lights flashed—NYC grit glowed. Sets hit four—dance ruled. #BronxSalsa trended; Queens wants a dip.

Some griped—’Too fast,’ sniped a newbie, dodging spins. Space squeezed—latecomers stood; vibe held. A rival’s pitching a Soundview sway, splitting moves. Still, 300 stayed—rhythm reigned. Fordham’s never swayed so bold.

Evans hints at a monthly run, maybe a park if spring bites. ‘NYC’s pulse—this pumps it,’ he says, packing tracks. The night’s a Bronx win—grit meets groove. It’s a salsa rush; catch the next. Bring shoes—beats call.
