Salsa Dancing at the Belasco Theater in Downtown Los Angeles

BELASCO THEATRE SALSA DANCING — The Belasco Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles was built in 1926. The theatre was built fully to Belasco's wishes with Tiffany lighting and ceiling panels, rich woodwork, and gorgeous murals. Most of its decor is still intact. 

 

The locale is truly impressive and beautiful. It has recently undergone a $12 million restoration that allowed the 40,000 sq. ft. venue to retain most of its original architecture and design. Likewise, with their all-encompassing D&B Audiotecknik sound system, the Belasco currently has the most powerful sound system in Los Angeles. 

 

Visiting the Belasco will be an experience you won't forget.

 

With its proximity to the nightclub that has given all of us, Salsa dancers, a lot of memories: The Mayan Nightclub, we would like to foresee an embrace of the Latin culture, our music, our dancing, and all the artists we like. While, Return…

Francisco Vazquez, Luis Vazquez, Johnny Vazquez: The Men Who Changed Salsa Dancing

Francisco Vazquez, Luis Vazquez, Johnny Vazquez: The Men Who Changed Salsa Dancing

LOS ANGELES STYLE SALSA — The three Vazquez brothers are considered to be the major catalysts that changed salsa dancing forever, and began the evolution of the worldwide dance phenomenon that Salsa dancing has become today.

 

Never before them had Salsa dancing been so popular around the world. A few can claim that without promoters and event organizers, the popularity of Salsa dancing would have never reached the levels it has, but I would contest that without 'the talent' that attracted multitudes back in the early 90s, the events would have been a failure or impossible to market or even organize in the first place.

 

The non-Latin people who came rushing to the events around the world loved the music, but they really did not care whether they understood the lyrics or didn't (as they still don't); what they cared for was the adrenaline and the rush of…

So You Want to Join a Salsa Team?

September 20, 2010. Over the past weekend, over 2,000 people attended three nights of dance performances at The 4th Annual San Diego Salsa and Bachata Festival.  The shows included a range of performers from North America and Europe, from Amateurs to World Champions, all sharing a desire to express their love for dance through imaginative choreography and high energy music.  Witnessing such an event can inspire a social dancer to improve their skills and can be one of several avenues that lead dancers to team-oriented Salsa.

   Why Do Dancers Join Teams?  Joining a team is a commitment of both time and money.   Most teams have more than one practice a week and require some amount of dues or tuition.  The reasons individuals join teams vary, and usually fall within one or a combination of the following: Social.  Teams offer new dancers an instant facility to meet a large number…
