Miami Beach, FL – June 3, 2016 – The New Tropic took over The Wolfsonian on Friday night to celebrate their special exhibition Promising Paradise: Cuban Allure, American Seduction with Cuban music, drinks, and dance—all in a special “paradise under the stars” inspired by Havana’s legendary Tropicana nightclub. Guests practiced their skills on the dancefloor with Arthur Murray studio dancers, learned how to make creative Bacardi cocktails, and enjoyed live music by Son Cubano.
