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:
Tickets are available now for the May 28th event at the Sabor on the Bay website.

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.
If you are unfamiliar with the San Diego Salsa & Latin Dancing Meetup Group or have been away for a while I encourage you to check it out anew to find out all the great events San Diego has to offer.
I am still serving as an Assistant Organizer for the group so if you have any questions or comments on how we can improve the Meetup please let me know.
See you all on the dance floor!
