Sabor on the Bay is back with their fun and eventful Latin party cruises for 2013. The first one this year will be held on Memorial Day Weekend and will include the “Dress in All White” theme just like last year’s event. If you are new to these events check out the video from last year and you’ll get a glimpse of what you missed (and can take advantage of this year):
The 3 hour cruise will feature great views of San Diego’s harbor along with 3 distinct levels of entertainment to suit whatever your interests are for the night. With capacity for 1,000 people, the party is great but sells out really quick so don’t procrastinate and secure your tickets today.
RitmoBello.com and the San Diego Salsa & Latin Dancing Meetup Group will be on the cruise (we should have a VIP table set out for members) and you are welcome to join us. To find out more information please go to the RSVP page on the San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group to access the info and learn how to secure your tickets for the event.
See you all on the Dress in All White Latin Cruise!
If you are new to salsa dancing in general the San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group gives you an opportunity to tap into the local community and learn from the best in our local scene. As the main organizer for the group I have the privilege of helping local dance instructors, studios and personalities reach new dancers in the scene who are ready to learn and engage in the salsa dance life. Since taking on this role of organizer I’ve also been able to see first hand the transforming effects that salsa dancing can have on a person’s life.
I encourage you to check out our calendar and attend some of the great events ranging from nights out at local venues, dance workshops and even auditions to dance teams when you are ready to go deeper into San Diego’s dance culture.

When people mention Cafe Sevilla to me the question today is always, “When will Cafe Sevilla Re-open?!” Well, San Diego salsa dancers your 8 months or so of waiting is coming to an end. Cafe Sevilla is re-opening in its new 5th Avenue location with a whopping 10,000 square feet restaurant and club this month. The former location was only 7,000 square feet back on 4th Avenue and Spanish-born owners Rogelio and Janet Huidobro have invested $2.7 million in making sure that the new location meets every salsa dancers’ expectations.
Some of the major changes will include a larger tapas bar when compared to the old location and an underground nightclub that will accommodate 330 people. We are talking capacity for 90 additional salsa dancers compared to Cafe Sevilla’s old digs.
My hope with the new location is that it meets the needs of San Diego’s salsa dancers and that they bring quality, LIVE entertainment that San Diego sorely needs in a venue.
Cafe Sevilla’s Grand Opening Party & Fundraiser to benefit the It’s All About the Kids Foundation is scheduled for June 29th but the real salsa dancing will begin on a regular schedule on Thursdays each week. I’m already working on getting the first Thursday of each month designated as Meetup.com night and I will get details to you all soon about it.
See you sometime in June at the new 5th Avenue Cafe Sevilla!
