- **Event Description**: 🍺💃 BENT RIVER BAILANDO IS BACK! 🕺🔥

Latin rhythms. Brewery vibes. One seriously fun night.

El Ritmo is heading back to Bent River Brewing Company in Rock Island for another round of Bent River Bailando! We’re trading the ballroom for the brewery and bringing the dance floor with us.

Whether you’re a seasoned salsero, brand new to Latin dancing, or just looking for something different to do, come grab a drink, learn some moves, meet some people, and see what happens when Latin beats meet brewery vibes.

📍 IMPORTANT: There are TWO Bent River locations!
We’ll be at Bent River Brewing Company in ROCK ISLAND. Double-check that GPS before you accidentally start your own dance party at the wrong Bent River. 😂

💃 $15 at the door — Cash or Venmo

🕡 6:45 PM — Doors Open
Get settled, grab a drink, find your people, and get ready for the night.

🕖 7:00–8:00 PM — Beginner-Friendly Latin Dance Lesson
Never danced before? Perfect. No experience and no partner necessary. We’ll get everybody moving before the social begins!

🕗 8:00–11:00 PM — SOCIAL DANCING
The brewery becomes our dance floor with a mix of:
🔥 Salsa
🔥 Bachata
🔥 Cumbia
🔥 Merengue
🔥 Reggaeton
…and whatever else keeps the room moving.

🕚 11:01 PM — The music stops.
Your night? That's between you and your questionable late-night decisions. 😏

🔥 THE BREWERY FAQs

👯 Do I need a partner?
Not at all! El Ritmo is about connection and community. People rotate partners throughout the night, so come solo, bring a friend, bring a date, or bring the whole crew.

👟 What should I wear?
Comfort is king! Wear clothes that you feel good in and can move freely in. You definitely don’t need to dress fancy.

For shoes, we recommend something comfortable with a smooth or low-tread sole that lets you turn and pivot easily. Shoes with lots of grip or heavy tread can make dancing more difficult (and your knees may have some opinions about it 😅). Dance shoes are great if you have them, but absolutely not required.

Bottom line: comfortable clothes + shoes you can move and turn in = you're ready to dance.

🍺 What about drinks?
We ARE taking over a brewery, after all. Bent River will have its selection of craft beer and other drinks available for purchase at the bar. Please support our hosts and take care of your bartenders!

🌮 Will there be food?
Stay tuned! We’re working on the food situation for this year and will update the event as soon as the details are confirmed.

💸 How do I pay to party?
$15 admission at the door. Cash or Venmo.

🎉 Do I have to know how to dance?
Absolutely not. Seriously. That's what the lesson is for! El Ritmo events are designed to be welcoming whether you've been dancing for years or this is your first time setting foot on a Latin dance floor.

Come for the lesson.
Stay for the dancing.
Grab a drink between songs.
Meet someone new along the way.

Experience what El Ritmo does best—bring people together, get them moving, and turn the brewery into a Latin dance floor.

Feel the rhythm. Live the night.
