Cafe Cocomo Press:
Hear what the Zagat Guides to
San Francisco Nightlife 2002 and 2003 and 2004, 2007 says about Cafe Cocomo:
This "cavernous" Potrero
Hill "hot salsa spot" provides "terrific space for dancing" and
features "scintillating" local bands, "fabulous
instructors", a strict dress code (no jeans or
sneakers) and a "friendly diverse crowd"; a few wallflowers
whine it gets packed and has "hokey", "prom-style" decor,
but dancing fools rejoin that's what makes it a "unique SF
experience". The 2007 Nightlife guide has new reviews but they do mention the lessons again and how it is a great place to "get your salsa on" !
We were the only instructors noted
in the Zagat Nightlife Guide! --Jake

Donor Drive/Salsa Party SUN, MAR 07 at Cafe Cocomo, San Francisco:
This is a drive to sign up new people in the national bone marrow registry on behalf of our friend and salsera Viet Lam, a doctor here in the Bay Area with lymphoma. Only 7% of people in the registry are Asian and that makes it all the more difficult for sick Asian people to find a match. Often a person in the registry can donate to a sick person that matches simply by a blood transfusion. The registration process takes only 10 min and includes a form to fill out and a cheek swab. Please come and help others in need! This donor drive is administered by Be The Match Foundation.
DANCE PARTY!
The party will include FREE salsa lessons by Jake and Louise (Beg) at 7pm and Luis and Louise (Intermed) 8pm. Then there is LIVE SALA music with Montuno Swing, and also DJs Fab Fred and El de la Clave! Dance team floor shows too. - Having a Party? Cafe Cocomo has great group rates. Check with them at www.cafecocomo.com.
- Cafe Cocomo has a solid Oak hardwood floor ! The floor is solid Oak over a plywood base, so it will be softer to the feet as well...
- HAPPY HOUR: 7pm - 9pm, come and get $4 cocktails and $3 beer and wine. I can't believe we're encouraging out to get liquored up for our class! ;)
