Latin Dance Party Valentine’s Day Special
Banish the winter blues and get into the mood for Valentine’s Day 2027 at our spectacular Latin Dance Party Pre-Valentine’s Day Special. The event kicks off with a fun and friendly dance class from the most popular teacher on the South Coast, Leo Henriquez, direct from Havana, Cuba.
To follow, we have not one but two of the UK’s finest Latin Dance bands. First we present, Pollito Boogaloo. Led by charismatic Colombian vocalist Rafael 'We Like It Hot' Berrio, they have their roots in Colombian Cumbia, Vallanato, Salsa and a host of Latin American styles and are guaranteed to take the party to the next level. Then we seal the deal with Son Guarachando, one of the top exponents of Cuban Son, Salsa, Cumbia and Latin Music working in the UK today.
They are fronted by vocalist Adriana Lord from Havana, Cuba who has been a leading force on the Havana Scene for well over a decade having worked with the likes of William Vivanco, Eliades Ochoa (Buena Vista Social Club) and NG La Banda. Individually the band members have been at the apex of the Latin music scenes of Colombia, Spain, Cuba and the U.K. We’ll be bringing on a selection of special guests to spice things up, including such stars of the scene as Pedro Enrique Medina, Miguelito Bollita and Adam ‘Iron Hands’ Kovacs.
This event was a total sell out at the Brighton Festival Spiegeltent in 2024 and again at The Ropetackle in 2025 and 2026. Now we’ll bring the same tropical dance magic back for 2027.
Tickets always go quick so book now to avoid disappointment. Can’t wait to see you there!
