We’re a community of runners, hikers, bikers and ballplayers. We’re an outdoor playground, designed by Mother Nature, with class III and IV rapids running right through our downtown. A 52-mile bike trail runs along the James. The Richmond Marathon and Ukrop’s 10k are huge celebrations, and the whole region comes out to cheer on our local teams. In fact, we’re so sports-minded that the Washington Redskins have their training camp right in the center of the city. Add to that awesome hotels, beautiful venues, attractions, art, craft beer, more than 900 restaurants and a convenient location, and you’ve got a top choice for your next sports event. Welcome to RVA!

From indoor to outdoor facilities, the Richmond region has the fields, pitches, diamonds, venues and the dedicated staff to ensure your event is a huge success.

Salsa can feel intimidating from the sidelines. If you have ever hesitated to join the dance floor, here is your sign: you can absolutely learn to dance!   
  
Join Mambo Bones Salsa Dance Studio at The Valentine Museum for an hour of rhythm, connection, and energy. We teach the basics of salsa and bachata from the ground up in a low-pressure, friendly environment where everyone is welcome.  
  
  
What to Expect  
  
Zero Experience Required: If you can walk, you can dance. We break everything down into easy, manageable steps.  
  
Come Solo or With a Partner: You do not need a partner to join. We rotate during class, making it the perfect way to meet new people.  
  
One Hour of Joy: We pack plenty of energy into a single hour. It is the perfect mid-week mood-booster.  
  
Good Vibes Only: Our class is judgment-free. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes you can move in, bring your energy, and let’s get moving.  
  
  
Event Details  
  
Who: Taught by the instructors at Mambo Bones Salsa Dance Studio.  
  
Where: The Valentine Museum.  
  
Duration: 1 hour.  
  
Bring: Just yourself, some water, and an open mind.   
  
What to Wear: If shoes have too much grip (like most running sneakers or hiking boots), your feet get stuck during turns, which puts a lot of stress on your ankles and knees.  
  
For the Ladies:  
  
Smooth-soled flats: Think loafers or dress shoes with a hard plastic or leather sole.  
  
Low, sturdy heels: If you want some height, choose a block heel or a wedge with an ankle strap. Avoid stilettos or "slip-on" heels that might fly off mid-turn.  
  
Dance Sneakers: Brands like Fuegos are popular because they look like street shoes but are designed to spin.  
  
For the Gentlemen:  
  
Dress shoes: Leather-soled oxfords or loafers are perfect because they slide easily.  
  
Minimalist Sneakers: Look for shoes with a worn-down, flatter tread rather than deep, "toothy" grips.  
  
  
Overall rule of thumb for shoes: Wear something comfortable that stays securely on the foot and has a relatively smooth bottom. If you can pivot on the ball of your foot on a kitchen floor without getting stuck, you are good to go!  
  
Where Should I Park?   
  
Free parking is available in the Adult Outpatient Pavilion (AOP) Visitor Parking Deck (one block from the Valentine) at 1001 E. Leigh Street.   
  
  
  
The self-parking entrance is located on N. 11th Street. Please take the elevator to Ground Level (GL) to exit the building onto Leigh Street. You will need to bring the parking ticket with you to the front desk at the Valentine to validate your parking before leaving the Valentine at the conclusion of your visit. Paid street parking is also available. For more information, see the Parking Lot Rules and Regulations section of our Museum and Visitor Policies.  
  
  
Additionally, there is a small parking lot behind the museum at 407 N. 10th Street. Parking is very limited in this lot, and there will not be a parking attendant.   
  
The Valentine is located two blocks east of the Downtown Transfer Station, which services numerous GRTC Bus Routes. If taking the GRTC Pulse, disembark at the Government Center station at Broad & 9th Street for easy access to the Valentine.   
  
  
If you would benefit from wheelchair accessible parking or have any questions about visiting and accessibility, please call our front desk at (804) 649-0711 ext. 301 and we will be happy to assist you.
