Hello Everyone! San Diego’s own Deseo Dance company is expanding to include a new focus on samba dance. Serena Cuevas joined forces with Melanie Riveira to bring to San Diego some of the best Samba dancing to be found in America’s finest City.
Here is a short intro video to the recent changes with Deseo Dance and auditions for the new teams if you are interested:
Good luck to all of you auditioning for this great dance organization!
For the first time in San Diego salsa sensation Jerry Rivera will be performing live at the Blue Agave Nightclub! Rivera, a Grammy Award and Grammy award nominated Puerto Rican Salsa Sonero, will be singing a number of his hit songs including some in these videos below:
Ritmo Bello and the San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group will be there to see him live in concert at Blue Agave on October 1st. For information on the event and to RSVP please go to the SD Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Event page for the concert.
See you all at Blue Agave Nightclub Oct 1st!
The 4th Annual San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival is now in the history books and if you are like me your legs are still recovering from all the dancing (and you are catching up on lost sleep!). I want to take the opportunity to thank Angel and Tulane, Albert Torres, and the whole San Diego Salsa/Latin dance community for honoring not just Ritmo Bello but also Dan Delino and Tommy Rosas.
I received some emails and twitter messages asking me what the award I received looked like so I posted it here for you to check out.
Congratulations to all the dance show participants, especially the local dance studios, who went above and beyond to show San Diego’s true dance talent.
See you all on the dance floor!
This is a quick video of the legendary Septeto Nacional as they performed live here in San Diego. They are a great example of Cuban Son, hope you enjoy.
Just a quick update. The organizers for the San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival released a revised schedule of events and I’ve posted it above in this post. You’ll notice that there is now the addition of Adam Taub’s documentary “El Duque De La Bachata” which will screen on Saturday night for attendees to enjoy. If you haven’t heard about the film it is a great behind the scenes look at the life of up and coming Bachata music artist Joan Soriano. To see this new schedule of events and other important information please check the official San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival website.
See you at the 4th Annual San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival 2010!
