A while back I wrote about Joan Soriano, El Duque de la Bachata, and the great documentary describing his struggles in becoming a bachata music artist.

This weekend you all have the opportunity to meet the man in the documentary as he performs live in concert!  Joan Soriano is performing live at Club Caribe along with Grupo Completo.  If you are new to his music you can get a short glimpse of his work in this video:

For more information on this concert and to network with others going to the concert you can RSVP on the event page created on the San Diego Salsa & Latin Dancing Meetup Group.

Don’t miss out on this great artist performing live here in San Diego!

If you are new to San Diego or are just new to the San Diego dance scene, you should check out the San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group.  Founded way back in September 6, 2005, the group is San Diego’s most established and largest growing Meetup group focusing primarily on all types of Latin dance. (If you’ve never heard of Meetup here is a short explanation of the organization.)

The group’s events are organized by some of San Diego’s hottest dance studios such as A Time To Dance, Ooh La La Dance Company, Deseo Dance, Majesty in Motion, Salsa Inferno, and Alma Latina.  Events range from dance workshops to new club openings and everything in between.

The San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group is also a great way to meet other like minded dancers who share your passion for music and dance.  It gives people an opportunity to find friends in the scene and keep connected with the growing dance population.

Sign up for the group is FREE so what are you waiting for?  Join today!
