Welcome to everyone attending the San Diego Salsa Festival! The Festival kicks off this Thursday night with the Festival Pre-Party and visitors from all over the world will be here in San Diego to share in their love of the dance.
I’ve received many emails from visiting attendees and based on my many communications with those visitors I decided to write up this post listing some handy resources here in San Diego.
First, a good starting point for interacting with the local San Diego salsa scene is the San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup Group. Along with RSVP pages listed for some of the major events associated with the festival (such as Opening Night Festivities), the group is a good way to meet local dancers and interact with them. Make sure to take advantage of the message board system to network with other dancers during the Festival.
If you are looking for more general information about San Diego a good resource is the San Diego Conventions & Visitors Bureau website. You’ll find information ranging from good places to eat around town to useful ways to get around.
Of course, make sure to check Ritmo Bello for updates regarding the actual festival this week. If anyone visiting has any questions feel free to contact me too. You can find me on twitter as well at http://twitter.com/RitmoBello to follow updates regarding the Festival.
See you all at the 3rd Annual San Diego Salsa Festival!
