RUMBA PARTY ~ Noche de Rumba
Join us for an exceptional El Rumbon Cubano in March when we’ll be going back to our roots with a rumba special. Cubacheche launched this unique Cuban event nearly two years ago, with an amazing performance by one of the few bands in London playing authentic Cuban Rumba. Over the months we’ve had many requests to bring on the rumba again, so...
Dilanga will be doing just that on March 14th - accompanied by five talented and exciting Rumba dancers: Ariel Rios Robert, Ileana Cachon, Hannah Bates, Melissa Blanco and Jose Ramon.
Show starts 9 – 10pm
From 7.30-8.30 pm ~ there’s a Rumba dance class with the talented dancer and star of BBC1’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE – Yanet Fuentes, together with master of rumba, Ariel Rios Robert. All levels welcome.Dance class £10, including entry to the rest of the Rumbon Cubano - tickets on the door or on Ticketweb.
All this in the unique setting of El Rumbon Cubano with Cuban DJ Javier la Rosa playing the latest sounds from Cuba! What better way to start the week than soaking up the luscious Cuban atmosphere and dancing into the early hours.
You can now buy your ticket in advance with Ticketweb
£10 on the door (including dance class)
£7 in advance - via website registration or Facebook RSVP (excluding dance class)
