Believe it or not, 13 years have passed since San Diego first saw the Sabor on the Bay Latin boat cruise hit the dance scene. This year’s event on May 28th will feature a mix of live music, rooftop deck dancing and a special themed Reggaeton floor. The theme for the event is to dress in black and white which as we’ve seen over the years can make for some great fashion statements on the dance floor.
The yacht holds a whopping 1,200 people on the 3 hour cruise and offers a great opportunity to see San Diego from a different perspective on the bay. Conjunto Oyo and DJ Ukeim will be hosting the salsa floor, while DJ Rags and DJ Hush will be featuring Reggaeton and Bachata music respectively.
To get a preview of what you might see on the Sabor on the Bay event check out this video from a past cruise:
This month marked a major change in the San Diego Salsa & Latin Dancing Meetup Group as I formally stepped down as the main organizer for the group. Over the course of a number of years I helped to spread the word about Latin dancing of all types here in San Diego and had a great time doing so in the process.
The new person at the helm of the group is San Diego’s Salsa Susie from Ooh La La Dance. A great promoter of San Diego’s local dance scene, she’s already brought back many former members to the group and is expanding it past the 3,500 member mark for the first time.
The original and largest Latin boat party is returning to San Diego May 25th courtesy of our friends at Sabor on the Bay. The 3 hour cruise will feature multi-level entertainment including salsa dancing on the rooftop, Latin top 40 and the feature attraction of a live bachata band, Grupo Invasion Latina.
This year the theme is changed a little in that attendees are asked to wear a combination of black and white clothing to add to the spirit of the festivities.
To get a feel for what the event will be like this video from a previous yacht party gives a good indication of what you can expect to hear and see:
Our friends at Sabor on the Bay will be hosting a cool Red and Black themed Holiday Ball November 21st. Sabor on the Bay, known nationwide for their popular salsa themed yacht parties, will be shifting gears for this event to the mainland. The ball will be held at the Sunset Temple in North Park and will feature 2 rooms of salsa and bachata music so you can dance the night away. Don’t forget to get with the theme and wear your best red and black attire.

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.
