Conga Room is BACK!

The Conga Room to Open Nightclub and Entertainment Venue at L.A. LIVE!

 

The Conga Room, L.A.’s world-renowned Latin Nightclub, Restaurant, and Entertainment Venue will be a premier brand of the new L.A. LIVE in Downtown Los Angeles; a massive project estimated at more than $1 Billion and considered the largest investment in the history of Los Angeles. The Conga Room will be designed as a two-story building, with direct views into the Nokia Plaza, the Staples Center, and bordering attractions. It will feature Television and Radio broadcast capabilities, an estimated 6,500 square-foot of ground floor restaurant space, and approximately 9,200 square-foot of upstairs live entertainment and nightclub space that will include a large performance stage and several bars.

The Conga Room was founded by real estate entrepreneur Brad Gluckstein, and co-owned by Jimmy Smits, Jennifer Lopez, Paul Rodriguez, and Sheila E., and it has been dubbed “The Latin House of Blues” by many. In its first incarnation at the Miracle Mile on Wilshire Blvd, the Conga Room featured Latin Icons like Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Buena Vista Social Club, and Oscar De Leon. It also broadened its musical repertoire beyond salsa to spotlight popular artists in other genres: Rock en Español (e.g., Aterciopelados, Julieta Venegas), world beat (e.g., Susana Baca, Lila Downs, Hugh Masekela, Bebel Gilberto), jazz (e.g., Billy Cobham, Poncho Sanchez, Jack DeJohnette), urban (e.g., Common, Wyclef Jean) and pop/rock (e.g., Jose Feliciano, Nelly Furtado, Los Lobos).

With its rebirth at L.A. LIVE, the Conga Room will host national and international iconic names in a state-of-the-art live entertainment space with triple the capacity of the former Conga Room. The new Conga Room has an advanced lighting and sound system that extend from a high-definition screen behind the stage to A/V amenities throughout the club, plenty of seating and dancing space, and areas for private parties, being able to accommodate over 1,000 people. Seen as a hybrid, due to its restaurant, nightclub, event space, and live entertainment venue, the Conga Room will be a center of attraction in the midst of the L.A. LIVE district, which will feature social, political, entertainment, and sporting events in locations like the Staples Center, Nokia Theatre, Club Nokia, and JW Marriot and Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

The Los Angeles community can certainly expect some big names from the world of Latin music later this year for the opening, and perhaps even some “secret” shows from musicians of other genres — especially during grand events at nearby venues. The Conga Room is available for corporate parties, movie openings, and social business events. For more information contact the box office at 213-749-0445 or 1-866-95-CONGA.

Sergio and Salud Are the founders of Latin Dance Pro, Sergio and Salud have been teaching, performing, competing, and choreographing Salsa as a team since 2000. In early 2005 they were Semi-Finalists at the 10th Annual Mayan Salsa World Competition and took 3rd place in the World Salsa Federation Competition in Miami in the Professional Division.

Their authentic Salsa style was influenced by what is often referred to as “L.A. Styleâ€� Salsa. This exciting and sensual style of Salsa is composed of flashy moves, multiple spins, and showy footwork that make heads turn. Sergio and Salud’s approach to teaching stresses the social aspects of Salsa; it emphasizes leading and following technique over choreography, which produces a smooth look and feel to partner dancing.

In their classes, Sergio and Salud teach everything from the basic Salsa step to complex patterns and partnering techniques. They have won high praise for their teaching method; it simplifies complicated Salsa patterns into easy to learn movements. This results in making their students’ learning experience a greatly enjoyable one.
