We are excited to announce that for the rest of 2024, every 2nd Friday of the month, after our regular weekly classes on Fridays, Guajirón will be providing LIVE CUBAN MUSIC at our weekly dance party. Guajirón is an SF-based group that plays Cuban dance music, directed by longtime Bay Area dancer and RCR student Michael Terkowski.
