Monday, 30 January 2012 14:27 | Written by Sue Elliott |

The Baltimore Salsa Blog is proud to bring you the latest and greatest event listings every Monday night. I scour the web so you don't have to. It's all about efficiency. Help is always welcome, so if you find something I haven't added, let me know. Make sure to sign up for the newsletter to have the good stuff emailed to you each week.

Is love in the air? Well, at least the prospect of love or some sort of romantic connection is on the minds of many salseros this time of year. The awesome thing about salsa dancing is that it is the one thing you can do on Valentine's Day as a single person and not feel so alone. Even better is that we don't limit the celebration to just one day, we're starting with a themed party, lingerie fashion show, and lots of fun on February 4 at the Mobtown Ballroom. Keep reading and see how you can fill up your social calendar, quick. All of the events are open to the public.
