Salsa your way through the solar eclipse with Holy City Salsa

Things are getting hot, hot, hot as all hell here in the Holy City. And while the temps are still hovering in the high 90s, the heat we’re referring to is coming out of Holy City Salsa’s West Ashley dance studio. Holy City Salsa (HCS), owned and operated by Georgia Schrubbe, celebrates its one year anniversary this September and in honor of the Lowcountry’s only dedicated Salsa studio we thought we’d bring you a little roundup of some HCS happenings.
