December 18: Bleu Rock

December 18: Bleu Rock

swings into salsa

Many in the community are getting very used to the music venue that happens with fair regularity every Thursday evening at the Bleu Rock Inn in Washington.

But for those who just can’t sit still, there’s more.

“We’re adding something new,” said Chef Jim McCullough.

Starting Sunday, December 4, McCullough’s wife, Yonieludis Cespedes-Sanchez “Jeni” began offering salsa classes.

At $10 each, it’s a bargain since Jeni is an experienced salsa dancer and instructor.

Classes run from 3-5 p.m.

Future sessions are: December 18

January 8,15, 22

For more information, contact Jim McCullough at (540) 987-3190. The Bleu Rock Inn is located at 12567 Lee Highway in Washington, Virginia across from the Rappahannock County High School.
