Salsa in
Denver is now on Facebook. Just search for Salsa in
Denver in the Facebook search window and become a Fan. I am adding pictures on
Facebook for all the salsa venues in town to get things rolling. I'll use FB to
annouce the weekly updates to this website and to cover things that come
up at any time (like the Victor Manuelle concert being
canceled).
(Published 2-8-10)
I have updated the
Salsa Articles page to include a new venue review of the
Highland House. I also added a section at the bottom of
the page that listes venues that have canceled a weekly salsa venue.
I added this to try and clear any confusion about if a venue is
still doing salsa rather than just delete it from this
website.

Free Rueda and Practice Night
There is a local
Instructor and small group of Rueda enthusiasts who are looking to find
more people who are interested in learning Rueda. Here is the
information....
"FREE Rueda class and practice group in Southeast Metro
Denver Thursday nights from
7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. Rueda is a spicy form of salsa which originated
in Cuba and spread to the
United States through the south Florida nightclub scene. Rueda is done by
couples dancing in a circle (Rueda means wheel). One person (the caller)
calls the moves and then all the couples perform the moves
simultaneously. The basic requirements are that members must be able to
dance on beat, and if you are dancing lead (men or women can dance lead), you
have to attend practice consistently in order to learn and retain the calls. The
class is located 5 minutes away from the intersection of I-225 and Parker
Ave. For additional information call Pat Kirby, class leader and
coordinator, at 303-699-8808.
NOTICE: The only motive for doing this is to dance Rueda and to have a lot of
fun!"
(Update 8-03-09) - This class is now
being held at the Wednesday Salsa Social at the Turnverein. See "This Week's
Events" for more details.
