As always if you see any new places that should be added or others that are no longer operating please let me know and I’ll be happy to update the list to make it more accurate.
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.
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.

It’s hard to believe but the time for the San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival is here once again! Celebrating 7 years of existence, the local festival draws the world’s best salsa, bachata, merengue and Latin dancers to compete, instruct and inspire.
As we’ve seen in past years, the San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival is broken up over several days beginning with a Thursday night pre-party celebration winding down to social dancing on Sunday night. The Festival will feature top salsa and bachata dance groups from the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe and Asia as they perform during each night. During the days you can take advantage of the many workshops that focus on particular dance skills related to salsa and other Latin dances.
An added bonus this year is the 5th Year Sabor on the Bay Yacht party that is set to Launch on August 31st. That event will feature 3 hours of fun aboard a luxury yacht with live salsa bands and a Las Vegas style theme.
Whatever you choose to do on Labor Day Weekend, here in San Diego the Salsa and Latin dance choices are limitless!
See you all during the fun events of Labor Day Weekend 2013!
