Queen City Cuban Dance

RECENT TRIP to BAILA NYC
Many thanks to all who came to Baila NYC this past weekend. It was a beautiful 3 days of workshops, live music, social dancing, and community joy! Buffalo was well represented (19 Buffalo dancers attended, by last count!). We were also delighted to see so many of our dear NY state/Ontario casineros from Rochester, Ithaca, Binghamton, Syracuse, and Toronto!

Early bird tickets are already out for next year -- don't miss out! https://www.bailanewyork.com/

CLASSES THIS WEEK
This week we'll have our regular beginners rueda de casino from 6-7PM tonight and our improvers/intermediate classes 7-8PM. We'll be bringing some calls back from Baila NYC to our improvers/intermediate class, so be sure to drop in for the session!
