12 days of México

#9 Salón Los Angeles

I'm reallllly excited to visit this dance hall. I've read to expect a flashback to 1950's-60's México, where every man is wearing a hat, and every woman is wearing a lovely dress, and a Cuban orchestra plays the hits. The club is known for it's special danzón dance nights, a dance that is original to Cuba but is currently more popular in Ciudad de México than it's birth place. The Plaza Ciudadela hosts a spectacular showing of couples who practice the danzon every Saturday afternoon. I want to show up for a quick lesson so Brian and I are ready to shuffle with the old folks at Salón Los Angeles.
