Quick update made to the San Diego Salsa and Latin Dance Venue page on RitmoBello.com. Some venues were removed and some added.
As always if you see any new places that should be added or others that are no longer operating please let me know and I’ll be happy to update the list to make it more accurate.
See you all on the dance floor!
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.
See you all on the Sevilla on the Bay Yacht!
Cafe Sevilla is currently moving from their old 4th Avenue location to the new venue at 353 5th Avenue. Although we won’t be able to enjoy the restaurant and dance club during this time, we can still follow their developments online. A new blog was recently launched by Sevilla that tracks everything you need to know about how their move is going and when the new club will open for salsa dancing.
Check out their new blog and let me know what you all think in your comments here on Ritmo Bello.
If you ever want to see the possibilities of salsa styling and footwork look no further than Manuel Dos Santos. The Toronto based salsa instructor and performer recently showcased his talents at the 4th Annual San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival 2010 which you can see here in this Ritmo Bello YouTube video. I hope you enjoy the new 1080p High Definition video viewing option which is now enabled in our videos (just pick that setting when you view for HD).

Just a quick update. The organizers for the San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival released a revised schedule of events and I’ve posted it above in this post. You’ll notice that there is now the addition of Adam Taub’s documentary “El Duque De La Bachata” which will screen on Saturday night for attendees to enjoy. If you haven’t heard about the film it is a great behind the scenes look at the life of up and coming Bachata music artist Joan Soriano. To see this new schedule of events and other important information please check the official San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival website.
See you at the 4th Annual San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival 2010!

That’s right! San Diego is gaining a new salsa dance venue and the Grand Opening is set for Tue Sept 14, 2010 at the Keating Hotel. The event will also be a celebration of Mexican Independence featuring Orquesta Tabaco y Ron and Oddy Pena y su Bachata Magic.
There will be multiple dance shows and a free salsa lesson beginning at 8:30pm courtesy of Ooh La La Dance Dance Company. If you plan on going make sure you get there before 10pm to get in free, otherwise it’s $10.00.
