10 Stylish Dresses for a Salsa Dance Party

Just received an invite to a salsa dance party this summer? But you can’t mambo, rumba, or pachanga? No worries. You can always look like you’ve got all those Latin dance moves down pat! Just choose a dress inspired by sultry Havana nights—think ruffled neckline, fluttery sleeves, and flowing skirt—and you’ll be in perfect style for swaying to those salsa rhythms! Oh, and do get the guys to wear cool guayabera shirts to the party, too.

Come to think of it, if you’ll be hosting a milestone occasion this summer, why not make it a Cuban-themed birthday cocktail party? Or a jazz-themed birthday bash with a Latin vibe? Dresses like these will be just the thing to wear, too (*this post contains affiliate links)!
