Fridays
GERMAN HERNANDEZ teaches free salsa lessons at
Club Tropicana
3222 Fondren (at Richmond)
(713) 977-4188
FREE SALSA LESSON at 8:30pm!!!
You never know what you'll get at Germans' free lessons because he never knows the skill level of the people who'll be in his free classes. Usually it's at least 20+ people but he always has lots of beginners in it. On those occassions when there's enough intermediate level dancers he is well capable of teaching some very good patterns. Sometimes he doesn't control the class too well so you might feel like you're wasting time sometimes but...well, he's just a nice guy.
After the dance, enjoy the music of MI RUMBA!!!
Mi Rumba has been around a long time and they play a mix of salsa, meringue and bachata. Although they're pretty good with their salsa, they don't promote themselves as a salsa band but rather as a meringue band who just happens to play good salsa and bachata too.
They're one of the bigger bands in Houston and are able to put out a lot of good sound. Other than the fact that they don't play as salsa as I'd like, I always enjoy it when I'm where they're playing.
Guys: If you get there exactly at 8:30pm, when the class starts, you won't have to pay the cover charge!
I don't think German is teaching over there anymore. I know I never see him on Tuesdays. Instead, Alberto, the club manager, has been doing the lessons. German might still be doing the lessons on Friday and Saturday because I know he's still doing his lessons over at West Point Apts. on Sundays.
