Just a quick reminder that this upcoming Wednesday February 3rd is our 1st Wednesdays of the Month Meetup event at Cafe Sevilla.
The theme for this February edition is “Dress in Red” so if you have a favorite red dress, pants, shoes, whatever this will be the night to wear it. Last year when we held this event at Cafe Sevilla the whole club was filled with people dressed in red and we hope to do the same this year.
This monthly event held at Café Sevilla is a great way to break the ice with new people in a safe and friendly environment. Don’t forget the event is FREE to attend!
For those of you unfamiliar with Café Sevilla, the venue is known for its great Spanish Cuisine and as a great salsa dance venue.
The event is open to everyone so feel free to come alone or bring any friends. We’ll meet downstairs at 8pm in the VIP area of club that will be reserved for our group. Just look for the Meetup.com signs. Valerie will give a free salsa lesson starting at 8:30pm.
For full details and to RSVP please check out the special event page here on the San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup group. If you have additional questions feel free to contact me on Twitter @RitmoBello. Don’t forget to wear red!

Hello everyone,
The San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group is undergoing a makeover! Meetup.com contacted me about some exciting things in store for the groups salsa, tango, samba, and Latin dancing website.
Specifically, the site is undergoing a redesign that will improve the functionality of the site and the accessing of local San Diego salsa and Latin dance information. Explaining the major changes in this Meetup.com Simplicity Demo , it is clear that the organization is trying hard to make a great site even better.
I’ll let you know once the changes are integrated but until than please visit the San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group to see what’s on the calendar of events.
Ready to try a new salsa dance venue for Friday nights?
The Grand opening of San Diego’s newest Salsa club is set for Friday May 9th!! The new club is called ABRAN PASO and is brought to you by Valerie "SD’s 1st Lady of Salsa." Most of you are probably familiar with Valerie through her complimentary lessons that she offers Tuesday through Thursday at Cafe Sevilla.

The San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup group will be in attendance on the opening night and will have a designated table area set up for members and anyone new to salsa in San Diego to meet. Just look for the Meetup Sign when you arrive.
Hope to see you all at Abran Paso!!!
Oscar D’Leon, the world renowned salsa singer, will be in San Diego for a performance on May 8th at the Blue Agave. The San Diego Salsa and Latin Dance Meetup has organized a meetup event for the concert for those interested in attending.
If you are not familiar with Oscar D’Leon, the video in this post will introduce you to the intoxicating and moving music typical of his work. Indeed, I’ve seen him in concert before up in the Bay Area (SF/Oakland, CA) and the energy at the concert was incredible. No surprise that it is hard to stand still and not want to salsa dance to this singer’s great music.
