Cuban Class & Malecon Matinee: Sun 18th May, Portobello

[Nick Child]

Hi Malecon Matinee Amigos (. . . Ruederos - see PS)

We hope you are enjoying Malecon Matinee as much as we are! Thanks for helping MM go with an "MMmmmmm!!"! Great to have equal numbers of men and women, and pretty much everyone up dancing to that fabby Cuban music from start to finish. 

Here's the next MM, but first the class before it - with our favourite Lily, and we hope this time, Yamil with his visa from Cuba!

LILY & YAMIL (Cuba), Son & Chachacha Workshop, Sun 18th May, 1.45-3.15pm, Beach Lane Social Club, Portobello, £9

This time we hope Yamil will be here to teach with Lily. Seems like a good idea to keep deepening our learning of Son and build on Lily's Chachacha last time.   Let Kath know you're coming on 07738 363553 or email her on proj...@caledonialanguages.co.uk - but also just turn up on the day too (classes are nicely well attended).  And of course stay on for the fun afterwards at:

MALECON MATINEE, Sat 19th Apr, 2.30-5.30pm, Beach Lane Social Club, Portobello, £5 (incl free drinks)

Usually 3rd Weekend of the Month. Traditional Cuban fun in the Beach Lane Social Club near Edinburgh's Malecon. "Best salsa event in years". Class, Cuban Ceilidh for all, beginners to Son helped during it. £5 includes free drink. All funds for Cuban teachers and bands in future. Reliable info by joining the email list - email RuedaClub...@googlegroups.com  For maps, go to: http://tinyurl.com/2yhxll     Get in the mood with select Youtube videos of Cuba, Son, Casino and Rueda at: http://tinyurl.com/2f4mzu

MM FUTURE DATES

Note that the MM after this May MM is in August. In June (22nd), we are hoping that the Cuban band, Sierra Maestra, will be doing a gig in Edinburgh - to which we will all want to go!  In July, there is no MM because there were no suitable dates at the BLSClub. So get your MM in before the break.

And, MM Amigos, feedback is welcome please. Just reply to this and we'll get it.

PS Dear Ruederos

Most MM Amigos are also Ruederos and we have been having more Ruedas at MM, with higher levels of skill and moves too. So, if you fancy some Rueda during the day, please come along and join in that fun!
