Welcome to Salsa California. I'm Valerie, director of Siempre Salsa, San Diego's 1st  Salsa Company. Since 1989 our mission has been to "Salsa-fy" the whole state of California and anyone else that will listen!

SalsaCA's WEEKLY SCHEDULE

To my Salsa friends, students & associates:

I will no longer be a part of Sevilla's Salsa nights program. After 20 years of dedication as I understand it, they are planning to honor my Musical bookings until the end of April, however immediately there will be a different person in charge of the night, a different teacher & DJ as of Thursday March 30 2012.
I'm hoping that those of you who appreciate what I have been bringing to the San Diego Salsa community will support me in my next endeavor.  In the meantime the SalsaCA.com beat goes on.
You can find DJ NewYoRican & I at Tio Leo's every Sundays 7:30pm on.  I hope you will stop by and say hi!  I will miss all of you.
