click here if you need a laugh
Come on down to the Navya this friday and enjoy some great Cuban Timba. I’ll be Dj in the club room playing the great tunes you like. We have two dance floors with the best variety of Cuban Dance Music and Salsa in Seattle. This place is really nice and if we can keep it going the owner wants to expand later this spring. Those of you who go out to dance know it’s tough to find a place that plays the music you like. here we have the best of both cause if you want to bounce to the other room Nick will be spinning Salsa and his cool mix of Merengue, Bachata and Reggeaton.
