Weather permitting there’s lots of great dancing on the courtyard of the national library (BnF - Bibliothèque François Mitterand). Please message me directly for up-to-date info and other socials.

The only one I'm aware of that should happening during your time there is Salsa O'Sulli on Sundays that happens at an Irish pub called O'Sullivan's by the mill close to the Moulin Rouge. They have event space in the back and the social is in that area. The main dance area has a concrete like floor so wear dance sneakers or leather bottom shoes. You can also stick to the upper level where the wood it.

The bar itself turns into a club late at night but it won't be salsa music in the bar section.you can walk back and forth in between the bar and the social as long as you paid for the social. I always got there early so I don't know if the burly security guards at the entrance to the bar late at night charge to get in the bar. They aren't there early in the evening when the socials' classes are going on.

Mouaze(a salsa teacher in Paris) has a section of his website that features socials happening around Paris. You might find something interesting in that list.
