- **Event Name**: Valentine's Salsa Party & Special Workshops
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Feb, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Sat, 07 Feb, 2026 at 11:00 pm
- **Event Description**: RCR hosts a Cuban Dance Party every 1st Saturday of the month at Lake Merritt Dance in Oakland.

In February we’ll be celebrating love and Valentine’s Day — wear red and/or pink!

We are offering three workshops this month. At 5:00pm Ryan will offer a Rhythm &amp; Listening class focusing on the clave in both 4/4 and 6/8 — son vs. rumba, 2:3 vs. 3:2, and how these rhythms are present in both Timba and Afro-Cuban folkloric music. Then at 6:15pm Or will be offering a Rueda Dinámica class, a fun active style of rueda with lots of fast calls— dancers must be currently attending Level 3 or 4 to participate. Then at 7:30pm we offer a 1-on-1 social dancing Salsa-Casino class (two separate levels taught in different rooms simultaneously).

Here’s the full schedule for the night:

5:00pm Rhythm &amp; Listening Workshop with Ryan (open to all levels of dancers and music lovers)
6:15pm Rueda Dinámica Workshop with Or (currently attending L3 and up)
7:30pm 1-on-1 Cuban Salsa (Casino) Dance Workshops (two levels Int/Adv and Beg)
8:30pm Social Dancing with DJ Ritmo
