SAVE THE DATE! On Sunday, February 23,
2014 (time and location to be announced), we have a surprise treat for casineros far and wide. Julian
Mejia, director of SalsAtlanta, a well-known casino instructor at the
San Francisco Rueda Festival, who hosts the annual SalsAtlanta 3-Day
Cuban Party, will be in San Diego for business and has graciaously
offered to do casino/rueda workshops at the end of February.
When we hosted him back in Seattle,
workshops were filled and I almost had to turn away people because we
hit capaicity of the studio. Once I mentioned his name, people from
Vancouer BC, Victoria BC, Corvallis Oregon's Rumbanana folks, Estern
and Western WA's casineros signed up. If you are wondering what makes
him that good, its because his forte is teaching technique for
dancing casino one-on-one and in the rueda.
On his last day in San Diego, we are inviting him to the Club M at the Hotel Grand Del Mar to enjoy the live son music of Combo Libertad. Don't miss this chance to meet Julian and to learn from him on Sunday Feb 23rd and meet him at Club M on Thursday, Feb 27th. More details to come.
If you are wondering what makes him that good, its because his forte is teaching to clean up technique for dancing casino one-on-one and in the rueda. He is the master of the "killer bee alarde" moves and making it looks so effortless. If you are curious, take a look at this video, one of my favorites of him just dancing socially at a party. His students know how to do this!!!
