Maiensy Sanchez is coming to San Diego to teach Cuban dance workshops, specifically "son."
 I have great great respect for this amazing lady. Thanks to her, I learned to listen to my own body as it relates to the son beat.  Here is a short video about her:

Here is her bio so you can see what she is about.

Maiensy began teaching popular Cuban music and dance while working at the Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores (TEC) de Monterrey, Mexico, in 1996. She created and developed a curriculum for the International Programs department’s exchange students. In 1999, she pioneered the Cuban style of dance instruction in the Seattle area. As a born-and-raised Cuban, and having grown up in a family of stage artists, she adds her firsthand experience to a class environment that is as meaningful as it is entertaining. Her teaching style incorporates her background in socio-cultural anthropology and 13 years of professional music training. Her teaching method draws from her biological father, an established stage actor, and her father Fernando Alonso, creator of the Cuban School of Ballet and one of the founders of the Ballet Nacional de Cuba, both currently on the island. Maiensy has received training in ballet, jazz, modern dance, flamenco and West African dance. She has performed at the New Orleans International Ballet Conference (as dance partner/assistant to master Roberto Borrell) and a number of local venues, including Benaroya Hall.
