Dance Performances and Lessons from The Salsa Room
There is only one premier salsa venue in the D.C. area--The Salsa Room--where the best salsa bands, DJs, instructors and of course hottest salsa dancers gather.
Formerly known as Cecilia’s, the club consistently features live performances by international Latin artists. Since 1991, legendary salsa artists such as Marc Anthony, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Frankie Ruiz, Tito Rojas, Oscar D’León, Victor Manuelle and numerous others have performed on our stage.
In 2008, the club's name was changed to The Salsa Room (TSR) to reflect the growing demand from D.C.'s salsa community.
There will be salsa performances at 2:15PM by SAOCO, 3:15PM by Karen Aguilar and Antonio Williams, and 4:15PM by Cecilia Villalobos and Earl Rush with lessons to follow each performance.

He has played at festivals in the US, Germany, Ireland, Holland, Mexico, Indonesia, The Virgin Islands and was a featured performer on the 17th Annual Norway Jazz Cruise, the East Coast Jazz Festival and most recently the Duke Ellington Jazz Festival in Washington, DC.
Marshall has received a National Endowment for the Arts grant and was commissioned by the Smithsonian to perform the works of Wayne Shorter. He has enjoyed two collaborations with Mexican jazz pianist Juan Jose Calatayud at the Mexican Cultural Institute in Washington, DC and at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach California. He has toured Central and South American twice for the State Department as a Jazz Ambassador and in May of 2005 traveled to Guinea, West Africa to perform and lecture on the history of jazz in the US.

Trio Caliente:
Deborah Benner--vocalist
Michael Bard--guitarist
Amilcar Cruz--guitarist
Trio Caliente blends together various musical elements from traditional and modern Latin music with contemporary jazz arrangements. The trio produces music that seamlessly fuses together elements of Bossa Nova, gypsy rumba and contemporary flamenco with soothing jazz vocals and musical arrangements.
