RCR hosts a Cuban Dance Party every 1st Saturday of the month at the LMDC in Oakland. December’s party will feature recorded music by DJ Ritmo and THREE hours of workshops. This party will be particularly special because our Fall Performance Workshop groups will be performing at 9:30pm.

At all of our monthly parties we celebrate the birthdays of everyone born in that month. Contact us in advance if your birthday is in December and we’ll put you on the guest list for the party (classes must still be paid for, see below).

The Lake Merritt Dance Center is a PERFECT venue for dancing, featuring a smooth vintage hardwood dance floor with ample space to dance. Here’s the full schedule for the night:

5:00pm Rhythm & Listening Workshop (understanding Cuban music taught by Ryan)
6:15pm Cha-cha-chá Dance Workshop (Beg with Ryan, Int/Adv with Sidney)
7:30pm 1-on-1 Cuban Salsa (Casino) Dance Workshops (Beg with Sidney, Int/Adv with Ryan)
8:30 - 11:30pm DJ Ritmo spins Música Cubana
