Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond their control, Tito's have had an unexpected delay to the installation of the new dance floor. Thursday night classes will continue as normal, and we hope that the dance floor will be ready in time for El Rumbon Cubano on 5th April.

We are sad to announce that we have to suspend our new Tuesday night Afro-Cuban & Rumba classes until further notice. We are working hard to resolve things and we hope to get the classes running again as soon as possible.
In the meantime, don't miss rumba workshops with Ariel at El Rumbon Cubano on 5th April - join us to celebrate El Rumbon Cubano's first anniversary! After the rumba workshops, stay on for dance performances, music from DJ Javier, and dancing to live salsa band La Cuba Ritmo! Click here for full details.
