6th Annual San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival Finds a New Home for Labor Day Weekend 2012

Sunday, October 9, 2011

The San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival has found a new home at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina.  Located on San Diego bay, the venue will allow dancers visiting San Diego the opportunity to not just have spectacular panoramic views of the San Diego skyline but easy access to the airport and many San Diego attractions such as Balboa Park.

The redesigned hotel offers five restaurants, three swimming pools, tennis courts, a spa and jogging trails to allow dancers to relax a little in between events.  Here is a short video highlighting the new venue and what it offers to guests:

Although the event is a year away, it is not too early to save money and get your VIP all access passes before the prices go up.  You can find out more information about the San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival and the new venue on the official website for the event.

See you all on the dance floor!

San Diego’s Cafe Sevilla Hosting America’s Largest Dress in All White Yacht Party May 28th

Saturday, April 16, 2011

Although Cafe Sevilla is still not open in their new Fifth Avenue location, the club is keeping their beat alive through their popular yacht party. It’s the return of the biggest boat party in America & they are  kicking off the summer right during Memorial Day weekend.

The 3rd annual “dress in white” party will feature a 3 hour cruise showcasing breathtaking views of San Diego Harbor by night and more importantly great LIVE dance music for salsa and Latin dancers to enjoy.  There will be 3 floors of music (Live Salsa Band, Top 40 DJ’s & Live Flamenco Guitarists), room for 1,000 people on the luxury yacht, 5 fully stocked bars, and1 Massive Outdoor deck with a Cigar Lounge sponsored by Excalibur Cigars.

Angel and Tulane from A Time to Dance Studio will be offering salsa lessons at the event and the headlining act will be Son Mayor, an LA band that plays with a high energy style of Salsa popular in Southern California venues like The Mayan, Steven’s Steakhouse & The Hollywood Bowl.

THIS EVENT WILL SELL OUT- Purchase your tickets early!!!  Also don’t forget that this is a Dress in All White party.  You don’t have to wear white by why would you want to stand out as the only person on the boat not wearing white?  If white isn’t your color just try to find something white like a skirt, tie, shoes, hat, etc.

Ritmo Bello and the San Diego Salsa & Latin Dancing Meetup Group are sponsors of the event and we invite you to attend this great kick off to summer.  For more information about the event including RSVP info please check the event page on the San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group.

Two San Diego Salsa Powerhouses Join Forces to Host the San Diego Christmas Salsa Jam

Wednesday, December 1, 2010

What do you get when two of San Diego’s largest salsa dance companies join together for the greater good?  The first ever San Diego Christmas Salsa Jam!

A Time to Dance and Majesty in Motion, two highly respected and premier dance companies in San Diego, are presenting this unique event at the newly remodeled Four Points Sheraton.  The event is unique because it is the first time there will be two different dance companies coming together to do a joint salsa class.  The event will be a great opportunity for anyone interested in going to experience a class with David, Jennifer, Angel and Tulane all together.

Other good reasons to go are the live band that will be performing, dance performances, a Jack & Jill contest where you can compete for some holiday cash and free parking.

The event is sure to sell out since there are options to partake in a 3 course meal or to come dance the night away only.  You can find out more details on the San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group’s event page that’s been set up (click here).

There are also rumors that a new salsa dance venue will be opening soon with the announcement to be made at the San Diego Christmas Salsa Jam so don’t miss out!
