WEEKEND ITINERARY IS DEVELOPING AND WILL INCLUDE:
Born and raised in the Bronx and proudly Puerto Rican, Kevin Morales has been teaching salsa since 2005. What began as a hobby quickly grew into a passion for helping others discover the fun, confidence, and connection that dancing brings. Known for his patient, encouraging teaching style, Kevin makes learning salsa easy, relaxed, and enjoyable for dancers of all experience levels.
Joining Kevin is ShareNation's own Amanda, a beginner dance instructor who loves helping first-time dancers feel comfortable on the dance floor. Together, they'll create a welcoming, upbeat atmosphere where you'll learn the basics, meet new people, and leave with a smile—and maybe even a few new dance moves!
(Tickets to this activity are on the ticket page. All pre-purchases are guaranteed a canvass. Walk-in's are permitted, but subject to canvass availability.
Uncork your creativity and let the sparks fly during Sip, Paint & Seduce, a playful art experience where great conversation, laughter, and imagination come together.
Whether you're an experienced artist or have never picked up a paintbrush, our instructor will guide you step-by-step as you create your own masterpiece on a full-size canvas. Bring your favorite beverage, relax, and enjoy a fun, flirty atmosphere while meeting new friends and expressing your creative side.
This is the perfect opportunity to slow down, laugh together, and leave with more than just a painting—you'll take home a memorable experience from Monster Smash Weekend.
Drop Off location is in the BOARD ROOM located in the hotel lobby.
