The Buses will leave from the Hotel Whitcomb at 8th and Market at 8pm on Wednesday, February 12th, 2014.
We will be voyaging on our favorite SF party bus company: The Mexican Bus. This time we will be using all three of their Buses however space is still limited, only 70 advanced tickets will be available and when they are gone, they are gone. SVT has done this trip/party/excursion many times before and everyone always has an amazing time. So don't miss out, get your ticket A.S.A.P!!
The cost is $30 for the night which includes a free drink and entrance to Baobob.

An in-depth look at what makes Miami Style Salsa Casino different from other styles of Cuban Salsa. It's origins, unique rhythmic lead and follow, and some lost Miami turns from the 90's.
Salsa Nick was fortunate enough to be able to study with several of the original and innovative dancers in the Miami Salsa Casino scene. Omar Cabrillo, Henry Herrera, and Ramani Nicola. He was able to study at all the well-known Miami Salsa schools; Salsa Connection, Salsa Racing, Salsa Kings, and Salsa Lovers. In addition, he partnered with Gigi de Calle Ocho for the instructional video "The Quick and Dirty Guide to Salsa" vol 4.
We will be presenting many of the unique steps that make Miami style different from other styles of Salsa and Casino. Also many of the lost turns from the early days of Salsa Connection and Salsa Racing.
**Please: We ask that all students be familiar with Miami version of Vacilia.**
