Hot Steps

Atencion, salseros y salseras: The West Side has a new venue for you to show off your enchularia and your siete doble. Coda (1744 Broadway, 816-569-1747) hosts Salsa Night every Wednesday with local dance instructor Howard Carney. Groove and undulate in the Los Angeles, Miami or casino style with all levels of adults (it’s a 21-and-older thing) while indulging in $3 Coronas, $4 margaritas and $5 mojitos. Wednesday is also Ladies’ Night at the recently opened corner bar, which means free cover for the women ($5 for the dudes). Coda owners Annie and Dan Tutko have made over the location formerly known as Jilly’s; it’s a bright, clean and inviting spot, perfect for practicing this ballroom dance. The fiesta de baile starts at 9 p.m.

Tuesdays, 9 p.m.-1:30 a.m., 2009
