Why a dance event should advertise here
The goal is not to sell blind banners. It is to turn community attention into decisions: where to go, what to expect, what it costs and why it is worth it.

What we sell
Reliable context: event, venue, location, styles, price, vibe, recommendations and realistic expectations.
Possible formats
Featured event, enriched venue card, weekly city takeover, newsletter, academy+social package and interest reports by style or area.
Editorial rule
An ad should not mean a lie. If the floor is impossible or the event changes every week without warning, the guide must still be able to say that politely.
Next stage
Automate capture from Instagram/Facebook, keep a review queue and publish when an event has enough signals.
Artists and songs to start with
Salsa
Artists: Rubén Blades, Héctor Lavoe, Celia Cruz, Willie Colón, Grupo Niche
Songs: Pedro Navaja; Periódico de ayer; Quimbara; Cali Pachanguero
Listen for intro, chorus and mambo before asking for another turn. Salsa gets much better when you can wait for the break.
Bachata
Artists: Juan Luis Guerra, Anthony Santos, Aventura, Romeo Santos, Frank Reyes
Songs: Burbujas de amor; Voy pa'llá; Obsesión; Princesa
Distinguish Dominican guitar, amargue and sensual production. Not every slow bass line asks for a dip, fortunately.
Cumbia
Artists: Andrés Landero, Celso Piña, Aniceto Molina, Los Ángeles Azules
Songs: La pava congona; Cumbia sobre el río; La cumbia sampuesana; El listón de tu pelo
Think pulse, barrio and social wheel. If it seems easy, you may not be listening closely enough yet.
Son cubano
Artists: Buena Vista Social Club, Compay Segundo, Ibrahim Ferrer, Los Van Van
Songs: Chan Chan; Candela; El cuarto de Tula; Lágrimas negras
Baja la prisa y sigue la clave. El son enseña a caminar la música antes de adornarla.
Danzón
Artists: Acerina y su Danzonera, Consejo Valiente Roberts, Danzonera Dimas
Songs: Nereidas; Almendra; Juárez; Teléfono a larga distancia
Elegancia no es lentitud aburrida: es control, pausa y respeto por una pista con memoria.
Timba
Artists: Los Van Van, NG La Banda, Issac Delgado, Havana D'Primera, Maykel Blanco
Songs: Sandunguera; Santa palabra; Pasaporte; Me mantengo
Timba is not just faster Cuban salsa: listen for energy changes, brass blocks and casino-friendly calls.
Kizomba and semba
Artists: Bonga, Eduardo Paím, Paulo Flores, C4 Pedro, Matias Damásio
Songs: Mona Ki Ngi Xica; Rosa Baila; Poema do Semba
Close connection requires technique, consent and listening. Search daily as kizomba, semba, urban kiz and tarraxo.
Brazilian zouk
Artists: Lambada Kaoma, Beto Barbosa, Gilsons, DJs de zouk brasileño
Songs: Chorando se foi; Adocica; playlists de Brazilian zouk social
Brazilian zouk needs torso, axis, head-movement care and a clear distinction from Caribbean zouk.
