Anyway...
Did you make it
to El Gran Combo? WEPA!@@!! I would say that was the biggest
gathering of Salseros I've ever seen in Boston! MANY, MANY people
dancing! Thanks to Maria and Jimmy from JimPar Productions for putting
that together. By the way, if you liked the food, check out their
Restaurant, "El Taino" in Roslindale--that's where it came from! (I want to say
Blue Hill Ave., but I'm not certain)
Also, welcome back students and
vacationers! This is typically the busiest time of the year in Boston as
everyone gets focused again on Beantown. I predict it's going to be a BIG
fall season this year, which a lot of great things coming up, including Eddie
Torres dance company, the 2nd Annual SalsaBoston Salsa Congress (we're looking
at mid-November this year), the NY Salsa Congress next week, and a number of big
concerts coming up.
This summer was also the hottest Salsa Summer in
recent history, with tons of great events having gone down! The 2nd annual
Salsa Competition, Pimineta Negra with Hips on Fire, SalsaBoston and JAM'NASTICS
in the Puerto Rican Festival Parade, the NEW Salsa Social with April, the new
dance floor at Sophias, Salsa on Saturdays at the Miami Club, the return of the
Salsa Picnics, cruises, newspaper stories, and on and on! Thanks to
everyone that has made it all happen.
By the way, all this is
reflected in the web site traffic. In July and August the site received
over 16,000 visits each month, with nearly 200,000 web pages displayed.
One of our goals this fall is to redo the web site. If any web gurus and
designers out there want to help, drop me a line.
One special note this
week. I've been seeing the cow bells and klaves around at various clubs,
and along those lines I've been informed that Daddy's Junky Music is having a
big clearance on all kinds of percussion instruments. Check it out in the
mailbag if you want to pick some up!
See you on the dance
floor!

Lounge Every
Saturday **************************
"Boston's
newest Salsa Hotspot!" with DJ D. Martinez 41 Essex St, Chinatown (look for
"Hollywood KTV") $15, $10 vip list. To join the vip list, send email to
miamiclub@salsaboston.com 1 Block from Chinatown Orange Line T, 2 Blocks from
Boylston T (T runs until 2:30am) Parking lot adjacent, $10 all
night. Salsa Lessons from 9-10 with Johnny and Kelly Directions, info, and
photos! http://salsaboston.com/miamiclub Plenty of local
restaurants within 1 block open until 4am
Q: Why is it $15? A: Well,
it's $10 if you're on the VIP list, just email to join. But to answer the
question, Salseros drink an average of about $4 worth of water on a night
out. On a Saturday, unfortunately that isn't going to do it. A
nightclub downtown needs to take in about $20 per person between cover and
drinks in order to be acceptably profitable on a weekend. Some of that
cover goes to cover what's called a "bar minimu". Nightclubs are
businesses afterall, so they need to have profit. That's the
unfortunate reality of it and Salseros have to realize that. But think of
it this way: around $20 for a full night of excellent Salsa dancing at a
beautiful club in a great location on a Saturday is a pretty good deal,
no?!
Q: What if I don't spend $20? A: Well, you don't have to of
course, it's a free society. But the bottom line still applies... you're
being subsidized. If the nightclub owner doesn't make any money then it
comes out of someone's pockets, usually the promoter's. While most
promoters can stand to take some losses, after a while they too have to throw in
the towel and the Salsa club closes in favor of a new binge drinking night to
replace it. So the real answer is, eventually the club closes and Salsa on
weekends stays in the dives out in the burbs. In a round-about way, it is
an obligation if you like Salsa in the city. Going to a club is a service,
like going to the movies...

Wondered
if you could include this in your weekly update if you think it
is appropriate. It's a little off-topic from dance events, but I thought
that there might be some value for those in our community who are interested
in Latin percussion instruments. My interest here is primarily to pass on
a good deal to anyone who has the inclination to play....
Congas,
Bongos, and other instruments: Hi everyone,
For any of you who are
interested in playing Latin percussion instruments, there's a unique deal
available this weekend (Sept 6, 7, and 8th). Once a year the company I work
for, Daddy's Junky Music, has a large inventory clearance sale so that we can
get rid of overstocks, older gear, scratch and dent items, etc. We sell this
inventory at extremely low prices, much of it well below cost. This year, we
have a large number of brand new high-quality Bongos (50 or so), Congas
(about 10 sets), and a few Timbales. I thought I'd let everyone know in case
they were interested in some of the instruments that are key to the music we
dance to. The sale is held at our warehouse in Manchester, NH (about 55
minutes from Boston). There is an invitation only night Friday Sept 6 from
6-9pm. If anyone in the salsa community is interested, you would be welcome
to come on this evening. Just tell them at the door that you were invited by
Rob and they'll let you in. The sale is also open to the general public on
Saturday the 7th and Sunday the 8th from 10am-5pm both days. Directions and
more info are available at www.daddys.com. There's also lots of guitars,
keyboards, drums, sound and DJ gear and other musical goodies (about a
million dollars worth) at this sale. It's generally a mob scene at this
event, so if you come be prepared for a little chaos! I'm maxed preparing for
the sale all this week, but will be happy to try to answer any questions if I
can. You can reach me at 603-623-7900.
Regards,
Rob

From Hips on Fire
Thursday September 5th ->One more LATINO MOTION per
request
Per request of our students we are having another Latino Motion
workshop this week. Don't worry if you miss the other week, you can join us for
any session.
Salsa Merengue and Bachata, among others, are Latino
rhythms. For us, Latinos,the way you move is probably the most important
component of your dance. Learn to dance with "SABORRRRR", adding movements to
other parts of you body besides your feet and hands: hips, torso, shoulders,
pelvis and butt. All of them, nicely combined, can make a huge difference when
you jump to the dance floor. So what do you think?? Do you want to try it out
and see how much you can improve?? Even if you don't take your dance that
seriously, come over and join us, we guarantee you will have a lot of fun and,
you will find lost parts of your body.
After 3 years of absence, Latino
Motion is back: improved and with real applications.
1 more week:
September 5th 1 more Thursday: 7pm-8:30pm 1 location: VFW ~ WITH

Letter
to the editor:
(From Dan
Marshall) > We would like to take this
opportunity to inform you that Jody > Khalsa, Sophia's manager of 3 years,
has moved on. Jody has been one > of the main driving forces that
have given Sophia's its heart and soul, > and we hope her good work is
remembered and perpetuated in Sophia's > future. Laura &
Richard, two of Sophia's old timers will keep things > alive and growing,
as Sophia's emerges from these hard economic times. > Jody was the manager
who facilitated the beginning of my Tuesday Latin > Nights, the first
Latin dance lessons, back in January 11, 2000. Since > then we have
added Friday, Wednesday, and Thursday lessons, and are > offering more
variety and quantity of Latin dance instruction than any > other Boston
area clubs. Jody has endeavored not to loose track of her > goals
for Sophia's, and has supported me and many others in our visions > in the
Latin dance and music club scene. Thank you Jody, for > everything,
and we wish you the best in all your future endeavors.
Let me also add
that Jody from day one made it clear that she is a person of high integrity
and insisted that the Wednesday nights started almost two years ago now, be
held to a high standard on both of our ends, which without a doubt is why the
night has been so successful. Throughout various times of nightclub
politics, she has maintained that position and her influence will be deeply
missed.
Jody, thank you as well, on behalf of the whole SalsaBoston
community. I'm sure we'll see you
around!
-Olaf
