September is Healthy Aging Month, opens a new window, and this year’s official theme is “Curiosity Has No Age Limit” and it invites adults of all ages to embrace lifelong learning and take charge of their physical, mental, social, and financial well‑being. This annual observance highlights the positive side of growing older and encourages everyone to stay active, engaged, and connected.
In celebration of both Healthy Aging Month and Latiné Heritage Month, Chicago Public Library is excited to present Salsa Moves & Latin Grooves: A Senior-Friendly Latiné Heritage Celebration, opens a new window, a joyful series of dance programs designed especially for older adults.
Instructors from Latin Street Music & Dance will lead beginner-friendly salsa lessons using light, easy‑to‑follow movements that can be adapted for all mobility levels.

No experience or partner needed. Just come ready to enjoy music, movement, and community!
