SIDEWALK SALSA The Ringling is getting its hot salsa on this summer—and not the kind for dipping your chips, the kind for shaking your hips. Latin dance studio, DK Dance Creations in Sarasota, is teaming up with The Ringling to offer -minute salsa dance lessons during a “Sidewalk Salsa” dance class series. This is entirely outdoors on the museum’s campus and, after your lesson, you’ll be able to put your new knowledge to the test by practicing your dance moves for minutes. This evening of Latin culture and lively dance will be great for students who participated in the “Summer Latin Series,” as well as for couples who want to learn something new together and step up their ballroom talents. These lessons are every Tuesday evening throughout the month of uly. Instructors at DK Dance Creations also offer Latin dance classes, choreography services for wedding quince sweet-sixteens, private instruction, dance teams, a dance shoe store and makeup classes. The instructors also provide an array of Latin-inspired dance classes including, but not limited to, Bachata, Salsa On1, Salsa On2, Cha-Cha, Kizomba, musicality, spinning techniques, tricks and lifts, and many more —B.Mattie Individual class at The Ringling: $15/$14 members/$10 students.

THE SEARCH FOR SUSHI Fresh, fast and not too lling, sushi is the perfect summer snack to keep you satiated in the sun. For something outside the bento box, head to JPAN for their Poke Tuna Bowl a deconstructed roll served over rice with spring mix, seaweed salad and avocado. Tsunami also has the Hawaian tropics on the brain with their Waikiki specitialy roll, featuring coconut shrimp and mango. Anyone looking to keep their bikini body carb-free should head to shido S shi for their Yellow Tail Lover roll. It skips the sushi rice for soybean paper and is served with ponzu sauce. ndigeno s serves its cobia nigiri-style, meaning over rice rather than swirled up in a roll. Topped with yuzu, furikake and red chili oil, it is also offered vegetarian and gluten-free. Last up on the Sarasota sushi tour, head to r nken Poet for the Hulk or Fiery rolls. The Hulk gets its name from the green sauce and asparagus, while the Fiery roll doesn’t skimp on the heat with spicy tuna, spicy sauce and jalapeno. Trust us, any of these places will have you jumping for soy. —A.Chates Poke na ow , P , 800 S. amiami rai , 941-954-5 6, anresta rant.com Waikiki Ro , s nami Resta rant, 100 entra en e S ite 10 , 941- 66-10 , ts nami-sarasota. com. e ow ai o er Ro , shido S shi, 688 Webber St, Sarasota, 941- 1 -56 5, b shidos shisr .com. obia igiri, ndigeno s Resta rant, 9 S. inks en e, 941- 06-4 40, indigeno ssarasota.com.

FACE MISTERS Summer in Florida is hot. Thanks for stating the obvious, right? It can be brutal when you still want to sit outside to enjoy a drink and meal but the overhead fans of the restaurant’s patio just aren’t cutting it. And, sitting under the umbrella at the pool or beach can still be stifling when the heat index makes it feel like 1 5 degrees. This summer, temper the fever by keeping a facial mist spray or toner in your bag at all times to whip out and instantly cool you down. For the perpetually overheated, Fi ation o ti e carries a trending, all-natural skincare line called Cocokind, which includes a refreshing and purifying spritzer called Glow Essence. The sea grape caviar and botanical ingredients brighten, even and hydrate the skin with just a few sprays to the forehead, eyes, cheeks and chin. No more feeling sweaty, salty and crispy from the sun and surf. At he erbari m, a pretty little pink bottle by L’Erbolario encompasses hyaluronic acid ultra- ller and molecular lm from algae and glucose. The extra- ne texture not only sets the makeup from dripping off at high noon, but also tones and refreshes the skin, revitalizing your moneymaker and providing an instant feeling of decompressing comfort. You’re still allowed to turn the A/C on at full blast, but why not also invest in a glowier, refreshed face for when your beau wants to take a sel e with you in the sand. —B.Mattie Fi ation o ti e, 18, 1108 range e., Sarasota, fi ationbo ti e.com, fi ationbo ti
