***What is it about La Sandunguita Social***
The essence of La Sandunguita Social is community.
We offer a relaxed night of music and dance. A space for sharing art and performance.
La Sandunguita continues to draw dance enthusiasts who get lost in their salsa “addiction” by dancing and enjoying the music with friends.
La Sandunguita offers something for most everyone. This is not a studio. This is where you share what you learned in the studio, your home or from your community. Bands and DJs have more freedom to play sets which appeal to the dance-centric crowd. It's about the music. It's about the dance. It's about community.
Come say hello.

Ciara's Bio:
Ciara has been a dancer throughout her life and has always aspired to connect with others through her love for dance.
As far as she can remember, dance and music have always had a crucial part in bringing her and her family together, and it is still such a profound source of joy, love and escape.
Throughout childhood and into her teenage years, she has performed regularly in school hosted events, attended dance classes and while in high school she and a friend founded a dance team that focused on creating a safe and welcoming space for fellow Students of Color. She began formal dance training in 2012 when she moved to Chicago to attend Columbia College Chicago’s American Sign Language Interpreting Program. While living in Chicago she took foundation classes at her Alma Mater and trained in Ballet, Modern, African, House, Hip-hop and Bachata.
Ciara continues to share her passion for dance, whether it is in a social setting or in a studio. She loves teaching and of course being a student, Ciara firmly believes that we are always a student and there is always room for growth as a dancer. She believes dance is not only a physical experience but also an emotional and spiritual one. She wants to continue to share the ways dance has had an impact on her life in the most positive and therapeutic ways. When she is not dancing, she is working as a fulltime American Sign Language Interpreter. Although Ciara has grown up as a dancer, both interpreting and dancing share the same space in her heart.
