Live Music Speakeasy Salsa
Live Salsa in a Speakeasy — with a Triton Leading the Way
One lesson. One live band. One unforgettable night.
Join the UC San Diego New York Alumni community in the Flatiron District for an intimate live-salsa experience set in a private speakeasy—where music, movement, and culture meet.
The evening kicks off with a beginner-friendly NY Salsa On2 class, taught by UC San Diego alum Xavier Francisco Tejeda (Warren ’16)—software engineer, dancer, and founder of MAMBROSO NYC—guided by live instruments from the Maria Raquel Trio. No partner. No experience required. Just show up ready to move.
After the lesson, the room opens up: live salsa sets, DJ breaks, cocktails, and a packed dance floor of curious, kind, energetic people.
What’s included:
• Beginner salsa lesson
• Live salsa band
• DJ + open dance floor
• Private speakeasy vibes (full bar, N/A options)
Alumni Spotlight: Xavier Francisco Tejeda
From UC San Diego engineer to founder of one of NYC’s most exciting salsa communities, Xavier is building spaces where people don’t just dance—they belong. This night marks the launch of Speakeasy Salsa, a new weekly residency rooted in culture, connection, and community.
This isn’t just a class. It’s not just a party.
It’s a Triton creating something special—and inviting you into it.
Come for the music. Stay for the dance.
Leave proud to support one of our own.
See you on the floor. 💃🏽🕺🏽
