For years, we’d dedicated ourselves to our careers, our family, and the whirlwind of life. When the kids left for college, Frank and I finally had time just for ourselves, but the quiet felt daunting. Then, after a casual suggestion at a dinner party, we decided to try a salsa class. We expected to simply learn a few moves, but it turned into something much more.

On the dance floor, we met Mia and Carlos, a vibrant couple with a passion for music and movement. Their energy was contagious, and as we became friends, they invited us to explore more than dance, sharing their love of local jazz clubs and secret cocktail bars. With them, every evening felt like a mini adventure—spontaneous, full of laughter, and just a little daring. Soon, we were spending weekends exploring new spots and trying out things we’d never have considered before. The experience reminded us how much we still had to discover about each other. We fell in love all over again, finding a new rhythm not only on the dance floor but in our lives together.
