The crowd filters in around 8 p.m. every Tuesday, trading the winter chill of Colorado Boulevard for the warmth of a dance floor that pulses with Latin rhythms until midnight. At The Mixx, a bar and restaurant tucked into the Playhouse District, Tropical Tuesday has become something more than just another theme night.​​

The format rarely varies. Rogelio Moreno, an award-winning Los Angeles dance instructor, leads salsa and bachata lessons for dancers of all levels. DJ Salsa y Sabor takes over later, spinning tracks as the social dancing begins. Two-for-one drinks flow throughout the night, and parking is free.​​

The Mixx operates at 443 East Colorado Boulevard under permits issued by the City of Pasadena. A 2017 City Manager newsletter outlined the venue’s application for an Expressive Use Permit covering “commercial entertainment land use (The Mixx bar/restaurant with live entertainment)” and a Conditional Use Permit for alcohol sales.​​

Event listings confirm Salsa Mixx as a recurring series. The Mixx’s website featured a September 23 date.​​

The February 10, 2026, edition follows the established pattern. Tuesday night, 8 p.m. to midnight, Moreno teaching, DJ Salsa y Sabor spinning, two-for-one drinks, free parking.​​

SALSA MIXX – Salsa & Bachata Dance Lessons & Social Dancing will run on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, at 8 p.m. to midnight. The Mixx, 443 East Colorado Boulevard, in Pasadena.
