A few reminders if you've forgotten:
1) Going to the LA
Salsa Congress? Or thinking about it? In order to
get the Boston
Price you MUST email me before Feb. 15. Even if you are
considering
going, please email me ASAP. See latest info below.
2) SAVE THE
DATE! Saturday Feb. 16, Edwin Pabon presents another Salsa
Night at
Knights of Columbus. Tickets available online soon!
Featuring
SANTO RICO DANCE CO. Live from New York!
Workshops
beforehand.
Have you been to SalsaBoston Night Sophia's on Wednesdays
lately? It's
been the happening spot the last few weeks! Thanks
to all who have made
it such a great place to dance. If you haven't
been there in a while,
you're missing out! (RUMOR: a little mouse told
me there's talk of
expanding to a second floor if it keeps up...)
It's
funny, just the other day I was talking to yet ANOTHER person who
had been to
Sophia's once and didn't like it too much. So I asked her
what night
she'd gone and she said "Saturday". Like HELLO! Which part
of
"Salsa Night is on Wednesdays" isn't clear? I guess she hasn't
been
reading my editorials...
By the way, not that I'm against
Satruday night at Sophia's, but it's
not SALSA NIGHT, not everyone's cup 'o
tea as they say.
--
Anyway, all the details in case you're still
not clear:
This and every Wednesday...
