Plus Fiesta de Baile.  Hope everyone enjoyed it all as well.

    Salsa Night at Sophia's
       Every Wednesday

"Boston's original all Salsa, 'by Salseros for Salseros' hotspot!" 1270 Boylston St., Boston (near Kenmore Sq. and Fenway Park)

Every Wed:
7:45-9:15
NEW!  Casino Rueda classes with MIT Casino Rueda Group, 7:45-9:15, introductory and intermediate.  Reuda Details: www.salsaboston.com/sophias/rueda.html or scroll down a bit

9:15-10:30
Follwing that, Salsa Lessons with Johnny and Kelly at 9:15, beginnner and intermediate, no partner necessary.

10:30-2am
Salsa until 2am!  Featuring each Wed. each month:
1st    DJ Nik
2nd    DJ Antonio Ortiz
3rd    DJ D. Martinez
4th    DJ Hernan
5th    Guest (when there is a 5th Wed.)
21+ Proper ID and Dress
$10 Cover, $2 extra for lesson (i.e. $12 before 9pm, $10 after) http://salsaboston.com/sophias

Starting Wed., Jan. 29, Salsa Night at Sophia's will include a Casino Rueda class from 7:45 to 9:15, as part of the night.  We're doing this because Casino Rueda is a blast and we don't see much of it around here. In other words, we want to get it going in this area!  The lessons will be taught by members of the MIT Casino Rueda Group.  There will be an introductory lesson concurrent with an ongoing intermediate level class. If you've never done Casino Rueda but know basic Salsa, take the introductory class once or twice and graduate up to the intermediate level.  If you've never danced Salsa at all, Johnny and Kelly's regular Salsa class will still be happening as usual from 9:15-10:15.  $12 covers you for the whole night ($10 after 10:15).  If you're an expert and don't plan to take Johnny and Kelly's class, you will have an hour inbetween to practice, have a drink, or get a bite to eat downstairs.

If you've never heard of Casino Rueda, it's an "exhilarating" dance that comes from Cuba via Miami, that can best be described as "Salsa meets square dancing", or "sychronized Salsa".  It's a group Salsa dance, with partners in a circle, there's a caller and and a bunch of moves that everyone knows.  As the dance progresses, everyone does the same moves together, often trading partners as part of it.  The whole thing is a blast!  If you ever danced in Miami, it's extremely popular down there. JAM'NASTICS teaches some of it as well in Boston.

More details will be posted in www.salsaboston.com/sophias/rueda.html,
with a video clip as well.

Step Up to the Plate

Recently in New York city there was a news item some of you may have noticed. Broadway Musicians struck in protest of the increasing trend to lower minimums for orchestra personnel.  Theirs was a successful negotiation  in that this trend has been for the time being, halted. Their argument basically was that Broadway musicals should represent something approaching the highest musical experience and that electronically synthesized orchestras simply do not deliver the “right stuff”.  This brings me to a thought this week, the shrinking presence of live bands on the Latin scene.  I’m just old enough to remember my youth in NYC when the stars of Latin music regularly played venues like The Palladium, The Cheetah, Latin Quarter, and many others. Dances and pick-up engagements were a cottage industry for scores of part-time weekend musicians as well. The latter was certainly true in the New England area even up to recent years. But now, even as the Salsa scene has grown to embrace a wider audience, live music venues have suffered. I have heard that top bands want top dollar for their services.  This in my opinion is as it should be. With no disrespect meant to our talented pool of DJs’, for me the live music experience is just so much better and, I’m willing to pay for it. What are we talking here, an extra $4,$5, at the door? Come on guys let’s not let our live music venues slip away so cheaply. It’s time to step up to the plate and support live bands, there’s nothing like it!

[Editor's comment:  if it were only $4,$5, that would be great, but the reality is it's way more.  Even a moderately talented local band requires $1500 for a decent show, plus a sound man and usually more equipment.  A DJ gets around $200, which means that you need 260 people to pay $5 more to make up the difference just for the band.  Sad but true.  Even El Bembe on a packed night only got 200 people.  Of course there is a chicken and egg game, but in this economy the DJ's win.]

HOW I LEARNED TO LOVE SALSA AND SHED 20 POUNDS
By Susan Taylor

I moved to Boston 3 years ago, and within 4 months I
had put on 25 pounds.  I would tell people that I was
used to being a beautiful woman, a thin blond southern
creature with high cheekbones.  Of course, no one
would believe me until I showed them a picture of my
former life in the South, and they would invariably
reply, “That’s you???”.  The situation to say the
least was not good.   I attribute the weight gain to
several factors; an allergic reaction to a series of vaccinations I was asked to take by my work (medical products field), a high stress job, lack of exercise,
and food allergies.  Because of the weather differences,
I was used to walking outside 4 days a week 10 months out
of the year in the south, and I could not do that for 6
months out of the year in Boston as I am highly allergic
to cold weather. No matter what I did, the weight would
not come off.  I purchased a lot of black clothes,
and made an effort to live with it.

About a year ago, I decided I could not take the extra
weight anymore, and being the good engineer that I am,
I took this on as an investigative project.  I began
doing some serious reading on food allergies, health
and exercise, with the follow through commitment of
making the necessary changes.  What I did helped shed
the first 5 pounds and I felt better, but the rest of
the weight stubbornly held on.  Then, in the Fall of
2002, I found Salsa.

How would a woman describe Salsa?  It has all the
attributes of a 3 hour aerobics class, an emphasis on
grace, form, skill and beauty, and a lot of non
threatening male interaction with a group of guys that
are just as serious about the dance as you.  So much
time is spent laughing, moving, concentrating on the
steps, that the time passes quickly and with grace,
ease and fun.  Done consistently, Salsa will firm the
hips, flatten the tummy, put a smile on your face, and
force the female of the species to buy that cool
feminine wardrobe she has always wanted.   Any serious
lover of Salsa needs to make a commitment to taking
some dance lessons; attempting to pick the dance up
simply on the floor usually fails woefully.  The dance
takes skill and is a 3 beat, pause and another 3 beat
and pause, or a 4 and 4 rhythm.  When I decided I
wanted to master this enigma of beautiful patterns,
steps, thythm, styling (not mastered yet) and look
like some of the women and men I had seen at events,
then taking lessons became an obvious choice.  There
are lessons all over town, and Olaf’s website is an
excellent resource for finding the one right for you.
Before I knew it, I was trying to take lessons two
nights a week, and dancing on a third.  The movements
are intense and non stop for the duration of the song,
and the events usually last 3 hours.  My first month
into Salsa, my clothes were getting loose.  The next
month into it, I had to buy new pants to dance in,
because the old ones were so loose they were falling
off.  Even though I was still chunky, I was feeling
pretty and feminine again, and that alone was
wonderful.  Girls, if you have a good male lead in
Salsa (and in the end it all goes back to the male
lead), for the time period of the dance you are the
woman of his world.  There is a lot of smiling,
flirting, and fun, but all held in innocence.  It is
bad form to dance more than two dances with any one
partner; in the salsa scene one is expected to mix it
up.  It was tonic for the heart and soul.  The third
month into Salsa, I got on my bathroom scales one day
and realized the 20 pounds were gone, simply gone,
without obsessing about it, without worrying about it,
without thinking about it.  True, I had made some
serious modifications in dietary patterns with the
help of friends in the know, but I was eating more
than I was used to eating, I was healthier than I had
been in a long time, and I was never hungry.  The
weight did not truly leave until I found the joy in
the dance, and I was simply happy to be in my body
again. 

Will the 20 pounds come back?  I don’t think so.  I
have spent 20 years of my life (since I was 14) at the
smaller size, and only two years at the much larger
size, so the last two years were the exception not the
rule.  However, the New England winters almost killed
me, and I needed to find an interesting exercise
outlet.  Would I want to go being that large again?
NO!  It wasn’t good for my health, my heart or my
soul.  Everyone knows that a key ingredient in any
weight loss program is Exercise.  Period.  Everyone
also knows that the secret to a happy life in addition
to work and love is a good social life.  Salsa
provides exercise, a social life, and a flat tummy if
used consistently.  What more could a girl ask for? 

Since the weight loss which seems to have stabilized
over the last two months, men are looking at me again
the way I am used to being looked at, and I have to
say I am relieved.  Because I have committed to salsa
lessons and salsa dancing, even though I am still not
dating anyone seriously, I have plenty of male
buddies, male attention and positive male interaction.
 I am a flirt, and I have to say I am loving it.  I
have now become obsessed with Salsa.  My male friends
who are good dancers tell me if I keep my learning
curve up, I should be quite good in a year.  That is
what happens; Salsa will hook you in.
The salsa scene has the added benefit of being a
friendly crowd.  If you find yourself in the situation
I was in - all my Back Bay friends refusing to go with
me to find some salsa - it is more than ok to go by
yourself.  You will meet people through the lessons,
and no one thinks anything if you show up by yourself.

Dietary changes and exercise
Salsa:  at least one lesson and one night out a week
to start with, building up to more with time, practice
your dance steps, it is good to get addicted
Food:  Read the books on Nutrition to find what works
for you, but what worked for me follows
·4 small meals a day, never skip a meal, food every at
least every 4 hours (you have to eat!)
·Start the day with a protein
·Eat nothing after 7pm, ever, never, ever – your body
cannot digest anything eaten after 7pm
·Drink 8 8oz glasses of water a day, without fail
·Eliminate all refined sugar, bread, yeast and wheat
products for the duration of the weight loss period
·No Alcohol for the duration of the weight loss
program
·Only Healthy Whole food snacks (no chips – eat
walnuts or pecans instead)
·Investigate different nutritional offerings such as
the eat for your Blood Type Philosophy
·A useful mantra to be repeated:  Lean Cuisine is a
Beautiful Thing
·Exercise at least 30 minutes every single day – if
you are taking your salsa lessons, and going salsa
dancing, this counts
·Body and Soul – liberally partake in Salsa – it is
tonic for both
