Guayaberas for sale!
We managed to
get ahold of a bunch of nice ones wholesale from Miami for the Congress but were
too busy to sell them, so we have some left! If you don't know, these are
short sleaved, embroidered men's shirts based on the casual Cuban style.
They have a straight cut bottom and are worn loosely. These have retail
tags on them for $30-$50, but this batch we're selling for $20
each!!!!
Colors are across the board, mostly black, blue, pastels, cream,
and white, but a few others. Various sizes. If interested, email
size and color preference to info@salsaboston.com and I'll let you know what we
have left in stock.

PROPER
DRESS REQUIRED, no tshirts, jeans, caps
Salsa Night at Sophia's new
includes a Casino Rueda class from 7:45 to 9:00, 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 JAM'NASTICS. 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 of course still
be happening as usual from 9:00-10:00. $12 covers you for the whole night
($10 after 10:00). 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.
More details will be posted in
www.salsaboston.com/sophias/rueda.html, with a video clip as
well.
