The birthplace of Salsa, a city of music & dance, great instructors, always the beat of drums & the pulse of life, and so much more...
The ANNUAL SBLD Havana Dance Camp takes place November 18-November 23, 2026 and includes:
It includes:
5 nights lodging in Kerida guesthouse or guesthouse nearby--in the Vedado neighborhood of Havana
(https://en.kerida-cuba.com/)
Breakfast every morning
2.5-4 hours group dance instruction daily (except Beach day) which will include Afro-Cuban movement, Salsa, and more--all of it with inescapable rhythm & musicality
Daily individual work with a dance instructor
Welcome Party--Dinner & Dance
at Cimarron w/ Christa & Alexis & Friends
Goodbye Party--Dinner & Dance
at Elo's House
Beach day bus/van transport
Guidance on how to book your flight and purchase your travel Visa (but does NOT include price of those things)
We will also take contributions to a wonderful community project and we will only support Cuban-run business/initiatives (rather than government sponsored facilities)--because we'd want to anyway--but also to stay within the confines of our Support for the Cuban People licensing category.
They'll be plenty of time outside of these events to explore Old Havana on your own or with friends, get extra dancing or music in at nearby venues, catch a taxi to the beach for a little extra ocean time, relax, see art, etc...recommendations and suggestions for extra adventures a part of the trip.

__________________________
*As of Spring 2026, my last visit to Havana. If you're watching any news you know the situation on the island isn't easy or simple. My hope is that we'll be able to keep both these trip dates, but I continue to monitor the political situation and we'll make the best decisions we can given whatever information we have at the time--I'm optimistic time will offer us more insight. We will move forward until we're there, having a great time, or it doesn't make sense to move forward any more. Any deposits will be refunded for reasons we can't control, like political instability.
