We are excited to be hosting Roberto Borrell for a special two-hour workshop at Long Weekend Havana — dancing Son and Cha-Cha-Chá to Son Montuno music. The workshop is open to all dancers and will take the place of RCR’s regular classes that day. Social dancing will happen after the class as usual until 9:00pm, timba mixed with Son Montuno with DJ Ritmo.

Born and raised in Cuba, Roberto Borrell began his career in dance with the Conjunto Folklórico Nacional in Havana at the age of 18. With more than 55 years of teaching experience and a lifetime of knowledge of about both Afro-Cuban and Cuban Popular music, Roberto is a master percussionist, dancer, and teacher, and an invaluable resource to dancers and musicians in the Bay Area.
