DESCRIPTION |
Presented by
instructor,
performer, choreographer, DJ and musician Carlos Konig,
this social will feature lots of classic salsa music, with an occasional
cha cha, by
DJ Carlos Konig and other
guest DJ's. That means you'll be hearing some very good dancing
music. There will be dance shows from time to time
which will be listed on our
Calendar. Held in a brand new studio, the
wooden dance floor is "medium speed", so it is suitable for most shoes.
There are two dancing rooms available, plus another one ready to open if it gets
crowded, as well as 2 other rooms for relaxing & socializing. Refreshments
are available for reasonable prices along with free snacks such as chips, pretzels &
muffins. Carlos is well-known to many of us as the smiling salsero with some of the
fastest feet you've ever seen. He is gracious and a true gentleman.
His classes & events are
always friendly and the ladies tell me that dancing with him is a very
graceful experience. He invites everyone to come and join him at his
social, a place for great dancing and friendly socializing.
The wooden dance floor is excellent, "medium speed", and it never gets sticky
even in summers when with people dancing on it. Click on Carlos
