An explosion of Latin and world cultures coming together in a celebration of music and dance. West African rhythms calling forth the gods, the infectious sounds of Carnival from Cuba, Spanish troubadours with their dazzling Flamenco guitars, American jazz merging in a fiery tempo. All these diverse cultures weave a tapestry of spirited passion for you to experience at the 4th Annual Seattle Salsa Congress 2009.

November is a month when a lot of dancers are preparing for holiday shows like the Nutcracker or Little Tin Soldier.  So, I thought a video showing someone’s practice might be a fun thing for this month’s video.  Enjoy watching BBoy Rubberlegz as he practices his power moves.

We will be closed on Thanksgiving but open for regular store hours during the rest of the week.
