# Event Details - **Event Name**: Santa Rosa Salsa is Back and Returning with Purpose and Live Salsa Music - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 09 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Thu, 09 Apr, 2026 at 11:59 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: Santa Rosa Salsa is Back and Returning with Purpose Join us for the official return of Santa Rosa Salsa on Thursday, April 9, 2026 for a powerful night of music, dance, and community in support of a meaningful cause. On August 9, 2023, I officially closed Santa Rosa Salsa so I could fully focus on opening Meyal International, formerly La Casita Day School, the first Spanish immersion preschool center in Sonoma County. It was a difficult but necessary decision, one that required my full heart, energy, and attention. What feels especially meaningful is that my very first Salsa event in October 2000 was also a fundraiser for Kids Kingdom Orphanage in Ensenada, Mexico. For that reason, it feels especially fitting that the return of Santa Rosa Salsa begins with a fundraiser once again. After two and a half years away, I truly did not think I would find myself here again. But after one night out dancing in early January, something in me reawakened. I felt drawn back by the music, the movement, and the joy of it all. Perhaps it is because I am older now, more grounded, and more confident in myself, but what I am experiencing through Salsa feels different this time. It feels freer, deeper, and more joyful. Come dance with us to live music by Grammy winner Braulio Barrera and Somos El Son. �Thursday, April 9, 2026 �El Infierno Cantina� 120 5th Street, Santa Rosa, CA �21 and up with valid ID Dance Lessons by Irene Silva� 7:00 PM Beginning Lesson �7:45 PM Intermediate Lesson 9:00 PM Braulio Barrera and Somos El Son �Plus, DJ Bongó playing the best of Salsa, Merengue, and Cha Cha Cha�.
