I’m very excited to share news about a new Wednesday night option for salsa dancing here in San Diego. Spin Nightclub will boast San Diego newest and biggest night club for salsa and Latin dancing that we’ve ever seen. Hosted by Salsa Susie’s Ooh La La dance company every 4th Wednesday each month, the new venue will feature 3 levels, 2 rooms, over 10,000 Square Feet and a 24 hour license to allow till dawn salsa dancing to your heart’s content.
If you are a fan of the “Dancing with the Stars” TV show you are in for a treat. Here in San Diego at the historic Starlight Theatre in Balboa Park there will be a limited engagement showing of “The New Mambo Kings.”
“The New Mambo Kings” is an exciting musical revue that blends Latin American culture through the art of dance, voice, and music. The show will feature lots of different Latin music styles including Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Cha-Cha-Cha, Samba, Tango, Rumba, Paso Doble and Boleros. It will also have flashy dance numbers and a good amount of singing both in English and in Spanish.
Starlight Theatre’s new Guest Artistic Director, Carlos Mendoza, along with his brother Mauricio Mendoza hope to reach out to everyone from all walks of life with their show. The brothers have a long history in the performing arts, appearing in popular movies and shows like “Blow” starring Johnny Depp (see the Youtube video below). I think the show will be a great way to experience the full range of Latin American music and dances in a way that is energetic and riveting. If you’ve been one of the people glued to the TV watching “Dancing with the Stars” this will be a great show for you too.
