-This week's mailbag
Well, the Congreso came and went, and what a party it was! Those of you who ran into me this past
weekend no doubt recognized that I was COMPLETELY exhausted, my apologies for
any anti-social behavior in that regard...
But for most accounts, it sounds like everyone had a great time this
weekend, and there are about a zillion people who I and everyone who attended
have to thank for that. Stay tuned for
the official thank you's
next week when we have our heads back together...!
We're in the process of
documenting how the weekend went so we can improve it next year. A lot went right this year over last year,
but there's also a lot of things that went wrong, in
part because it was a much bigger event.
In any case, though, we'd love your feedback, good or bad. Please post your thoughts on the message
board.
First order of post-Congreso business, the RAFFLE!
Here are the
winners. Congratulations,
and many thanks to the prize donors.
Proceeds go to Burju's student dance groups.
Email
winner@salsaboston.com to claim your prizes.
You must have your ticket stub.

[Not Salsa, but stuff all
combat nightclub ready-salseros should know, taught
by a Salsero]
Greetings!
Bussey Style is moving along in Boston and I am excited to share this announcement. An
article entitled "How to Avoid Getting Your Ass Kicked" is now
available in the November 20th Issue of the Weekly Dig in Boston, a weekly newspaper distributed throughout the Boston area.
An Excerpt:
"Iglecia quickly
demonstrated a punch to the head, a knee to the thigh and a sweeping leg
takedown that brought Abel to a sitting position. The moves were too fast for
an un-alert eye to catch, and Iglecia was 10 feet away from his opponent before
he even began to struggle to his feet. He returned to help Abel off the floor,
a hallmark of the respect that is built into the Bussey
method."
You can read the article
at http://www.weeklydig.com/?ContentId=2033
Other Happenings
1. We now have students
in our Tuesday class for youth and in our adult class. 2. Our 6-Week session
begins December 7th. Call or email for information.
