OK -- so the Dirty Dancing sequel, Havana Nights, didn't measure up to the original awesome movie (even though Mad Men's Roger Sterling was a pretty cool silver fox of a dad). We still love Havana Nights as a concept for throwing a really great party -- and so does Oceans 234.

Starting this Saturday, May 26, at 9 p.m., Oceans 234 in Deerfield Beach is kicking off its third-annual Havana Nights series, with monthly repeats through August.

The Cuban-themed party offers complimentary cigars, passed Cuban hors'

d'oeuvres, pastelitos, and a mojito lounge. DJ Hastyle will be spinning

tropical music while professional salsa dancers show you how it's

really done.

Oceans 234 will also offer its standard fare of

fresh-caught seafood by executive chef Victor Franco as well as a full

sushi bar and handmade desserts.

So put on your dancing shoes,

break out your guayabera or white party dress, and prepare to sip

mojitos -- because nobody puts bambina in the corner.
