RCR hosts a Cuban Dance Party every 1st Saturday of the month at Lake Merritt Dance in Oakland. In October we will be celebrating Sidney’s and Nathan’s birthdays!

We are offering two workshops this month. At 6:15pm Or will be offering a Rueda Mixta class, in which alternating couples can dance pa’ dentro and pa’ fuera and switch between these configurations — dancers must be currently attending Level 3 or 4 to participate. Then at 7:30pm we offer a 1-on-1 social dancing Salsa-Casino class (two separate levels taught in different rooms simultaneously).

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 October and we’ll put you on the guest list for the party (workshops not included, see below).

Here’s the full schedule for the night:

6:15pm Rueda Mixta Workshop with Or (currently attending L3 and up)
7:30pm 1-on-1 Cuban Salsa (Casino) Dance Workshops (two levels Int/Adv and Beg)
8:30pm DJ Ritmo spins Música Cubana
