Emergence of the club

The club emerged in the Gertrudis Sánchez neighborhood, in the church's party hall. We began there with people who shared the same taste, both seniors and young people. The first thing we did was teach the basic steps of the genres we dance: danzón, tango, and blues. Then we formed an exhibition group
