Carlsbad Flash Mob Video on Facebook for International Rueda Flash Mob Day (Mar. 29th)
March 29th was one of the best rueda dance days ever! Our flash mob in Carlsbad was so much fun and took a lot of people by surprise who watched. We had an enthusiastic group of happy casineros who participated. Some even drove all the way from Orange County and one came from Boston!!! Many thanks to all the callers who helped me (Vidal Cordova and Tim Snedeker). You are awesome!
We had a couple of videographers out there, so we have a few to share. One is on its way as it is being edited. Thank you Marina Dotsenko for posting this one! You ROCK!!

San Diego ROADTRIP to the Los Angeles Cubano Festival - Sun. July 13, 2014
TIMBALIVE, Isaac Delgado, La Charanga Cubana and other bands to be announced will be playing at this festival. This sounds like a road trip to me. Anyone interested in renting a "timbus" to this event? Get it? Timba + a bus = a timbus. We can rent a regular bus which can fit 49 people. If we get all 49 seats filled, It will be $35/person. This will include 5 San Diego stops. Stop #1: Fashion Outlet of the Americas(Chula Vista); Stop #2: Old Town Train Station; Stop #3: Vista Sorrento Park N Ride(nearest La Jolla); Stop #4: Encinitas CVS Parking Lot; Stop #5 Carlsbad Westfield Mall SW Corner Parking Lot (closest to Olive Garden). All 5 pick ups to the Cuban Festival is 3 hours. They charge by the hour, so we will need to be ON TIME. I need to know if you are in or out by paying the $35 on PayPal by this Wednesday. Please e-mail me if you are in and I will send you an invoice through Pay Pal. You have until Wednesday to confirm with me and pay. If we onlyget 40 people, the price per person goes up to $45.00/person. PLEASE KNOW that if we do not fill the bus, I'm canceling the bus by Wednesday.It's not personal, it's just business. Below are the details about the festival price per person.

International Rueda De Casino Flash Mob for Carlsbad, CA
On March 29th at 4:00pm ALL AROUND THE WORLD, there will be a scheduled flash mob in major cities in just about every country around the globe. If you don't believe me, check out this Facebook Event page titled International Rueda De Casino - Multi Flash Mob Day
I have registered our rueda de casino flash mob participation for Carlsbad. Our flash mob location is in the busiest part of Carlsbad by the beach. Tons of tourists walk around this place. THE FLASH MOB LOCATION IS A SECRET.
THE REHEARSAL LOCATION IS NOTED ON THIS POST
Here are the details:
What: Rehearsal for Rueda de Casino Flash Mob in Carlsbad
Where: Rehearsal location is in front (across the street) of the Museum of Making Music in front of the flower fields. Use this Google Maps link to find our rehearsal spot.
When: Rehearsal time is 2:00pm; Flash Mob is at 4:00pm
We will run through some fun rueda moves. It is an impromptu rehearsal and you MUST COME with a pair. No solo dancers. If you are solo, I will make you a videographer because we need a few folks to videotape. Confirm ahead of time who will be your partner. Contact me if you have questions or are interested in participating by e-mail: sbdiva32@yahoo.com or by phone (206)300-4523. We want this flash mob to be evenly paired so it looks good.
Once I receive your confirmation (and your confirmed pair), I will send you the Google Map location of the flash mob zone in Carlsbad.
This is NOT for brand new people who have not taken a rueda class yet. It is a flash mob with casineros taking classes already and know basic beginner moves and intermediate moves (most importantly, group moves).
