Summer is here and although it’s just begun it isn’t too early to plan for the upcoming San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival. The event this year is moved back to Labor Day weekend and will give you an opportunity to enjoy an epic weekend of salsa and bachata dancing.
Along with the social dancing, the event is known for its great series of dance shows and workshops where you can learn new steps and improve on your existing dance skills. Live bands will be playing throughout the weekend along with a host of DJ’s to keep your feet moving.
The 10th Annual San Diego Salsa Bachata Kizomba Festival is coming up fast. The event which traditionally has been during the summer/fall is now set for a new time Thanksgiving weekend. For those of you unfamiliar with the event, the Festival is a great opportunity to be immersed for an entire weekend in the world of Latin dance here in San Diego. Between dance shows, live music, dance seminars and workshops the event will allow those new to Latin dancing a comprehensive introduction to it all.
From all of us at RitmoBello.com we wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope to see you all in 2016 and share some great times dancing in the new year.

The San Diego Salsa Bachata Kizomba Festival is about a month away and there are some important updates recently released related to the event that you should know about.
The official band of the San Diego Salsa Bachata Kizomba Festival is Tarzana, a 10 piece band with music that harks back to the 1950’s and 1960’s era bands. If you haven’t heard their music here is a video showing their talent:
Along with this announcement is an updated list of the many instructors that will be teaching workshops and lessons throughout the whole event. Many well known names including San Diego’s David and Jennifer Stein and Alejandra Quintero will be hosting all sorts of instructions for those eager to learn. You can see the most up to date list here on the San Diego Salsa Bachata Kizomba website.

I often get questions about the calendar and events on the San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group. Many people think I post every event that appears there but in reality the calendar is a huge group effort.
The group is made of 22 other organizers that include well known people here in San Diego such as David Stein of Majesty in Motion, Susie Nguyen Grafte from Ooh La La Dance company, Walter Meneses from Dancing After School, Gaby from Alma Latina and Serena Cuevas. The local Tango dance community is represented as well with organizer like Krista Ann and Tino. The events found on the calendar are truly crowd sourced content from those who know what is going on here in San Diego regarding dance.
The great thing about the group is that we are open to others from the community who want to help fill the calendar with fun events and socials any day of the week. If you are interested in becoming an event organizer send me a message.
With so much talent here in San Diego posting great events on the calendar you are sure to find one that best fits your schedule and interests.
The 7th Annual All White Boat Party is set to launch on June 13, 2015 and if you’ve been on the cruise in the past you know what fun is in store for you again this year.
If you are new to the event,though, I can try to paint a picture of what you can expect. The Inspiration Yacht (the largest of the vessels provided by Hornblower Cruises) will be jammed pack with 1,000 dancers ready to party the night away. Three dance floors will be available on the yacht with live salsa/bachata music, top 40 DJ’s spinning the best dance music and belly dance music as well. The event has a dress in all white theme which in my opinion adds a touch of elegance to the affair, especially when most folks show up in really nice white suits or beautiful white dresses.
If you want to catch a glimpse of what this all looks like this video does a good job of giving you a brief preview:
Tickets always sell out for this event so it would be a good idea to buy your tickets now to avoid being left at the dock.
