YOU DON'T EXPECT A FULL ON AUTHENTIC VIBE at a slick, up-market setting like Floridita, 100 Wardour Street, London, W1F 0TN in the heart of London's Soho.
But that's exactly what you get - and it's the reason you'll find some of the salsa world's top bananas hanging out there, grooving to nightly live Cuban music and mixing it up with the suits at this uber urban Cuban restaurant/bar. Now, Floridita has a new night dedicated to dance - Latin Pulse. NEXT UP is the Latin Pulse Christmas Party on Sunday 20th December from 5.00pm to midnight. There is live music from top Cuban salsa band Sonarte, featuring cuatro maestro Radames Brugal and Francisco Nunez, one of the finest percussionists from Santiago. The band performs live during classes and through the night, playing Cuban Son, Cha Cha Cha and Salsa alongside DJ Johnny G and Flecha plus a massive dance space!
Dance-wise, STRICTLY Come Dancing's Andrew Cuerden & Hanna Haarala teach an exclusive, two-hour workshop on Latin American Ballroom Rumba and Cha Cha Cha from 6.00pm-8.00pm. There are three flamboyant dance shows with Andrew & Hanna and the Taste of Brasil dance company.
Price: £10, includes all classes and a welcome cocktail.
