See you on the dance floor!

First of all, thank you so much to Julian and the SALSATLANTA team for the invitation and for such a wonderful weekend. We truly felt welcomed during our stay, had an amazing time, and are very grateful to still be able to teach, share, and be part of such a beautiful and growing casino community. ❤️🇨🇺

It is always special to reconnect with our mentors, elders, and longtime inspirations in this dance—people who have encouraged and guided us throughout the past 20 years of our journey. Julian, thank you for continuing to create a space where younger and older generations can come together, connect, learn, and celebrate Cuban dance culture together.

Thank you so much to all of our students who came out to the classes. We had an incredible time dancing, teaching, learning, and sharing with all of you.

And a huge thank you to all the dancers and communities who collaborated with us and helped support our casino class and demo—coming all the way from New Orleans, New York, Asheville, and Tampa. Special love to the dancers from Dile Que NOLA, Brother Asheville, and for bringing such amazing energy and community spirit to the floor.

Moments like these remind us why we continue doing this work after all these years. Thank you again for the love, support, and commitment to preserving and growing casino dance and Cuban culture.

DC Casineros… rompe cabeza.

First and foremost, thank you so much to our wonderful community for showing up to the Cuban Dance Social and partying with us throughout the night! ❤️🇨🇺

Below are pictures and photos from the evening, and we’ll be posting more videos and content soon.

A huge thank you to DC Casineros Sito Sasieta and William Sanchez for your amazing organizing, leadership, and hosting of the social while many of our principal dancers were out of town teaching & training nationally and internationally. Your hard work and commitment truly helped keep the energy and spirit of our community alive.

Thank you as well to our incredible DJ, DJ VSpice, Veronica, for coming all the way from Philly. What an amazing time, what an amazing DJ, and what an amazing person. 🔥

A very special thank you to from George Mason University Azucar, GMU Salsa Club for the amazing lesson, performance, and energy you brought to the event. Thank you for continuing to expose and inspire young dancers through rueda de casino and casino dance and for helping keep the next generation connected to Cuban dance culture and community.

We also want to give a huge thank you to the newest generation of DC Casineros dancers for an amazing performance representing the company while many of us were away. Your hard work truly showed on the dance floor, and your energy was absolutely infectious. Thank you, thank you, thank you for stepping up and continuing the tradition, spirit, and passion of DC Casineros. ❤️

Much love to our alumni for coming out, supporting, and celebrating with us, and thank you once again to everyone in the community for continuing to support DC Casineros Cuban Dance Socials. These socials have become a staple in our community and continue creating a space where casino dance can flourish, grow, and remain a priority for both our dance community and the Cuban community here in DC.

And of course, thank you Dance Place for continuing to provide a home for this event.
