El Encuentro

### EL ENCUENTRO _Nuestro primer baile!_ There's something about music that brings people together. A familiar canción, a rhythm you grew up hearing, or a dance with someone you've just met. El Encuentro was born from that feeling. For our first baile, we're bringing together salsa, classic cumbia, bachata, and live percussion for an evening of Latin social dancing. This gathering is especially personal to me: I'm launching El Encuentro LA in the spirit of my birthday. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than sharing something I love con mi gente, and welcoming new faces along the way. El Encuentro LA is an intentionally alcohol-free social. Not because the night needs less energy, but because la musica, el baile, y la comunidad are at the center of it. Come as you are, whether you're an experienced dancer or just learning, there's room for you here! Tickets go on sale Nov 2nd.
