Yes,
the miracle Sox might actually break the 86 year old curse, and it could be as
soon as this Wednesday night, Game 4, which is in St. Louis. However,
we'll be there live at Sophia's to watch, and to Salsa throughout the game,
particularly during the 7th inning stretch and commercial breaks! i.e.
We'll have the projection screen with the game going as last week, and you can
watch Pedro from his favorite club, *larger than life*!
Soo.... Join us the Wednesday for the 2nd edition of SOX Y SALSA @
Sophia's!
And... Halloween is upon us. Here is the salsa party

************************** Noche de Salsa
@ BCCA Saturdays! **************************
If you haven't
heard, it's a whole new concept and it will feature all of BCCA's fabulous
instructors dancing there each week and giving the lessons. In other
words, you can expect to see JAM'NASTICS, Hacha Y Machete, Salsa Y Control (with
Johnny and Kelly), and SALSAlort there on a regular basis with many of their
students and dance company members. Lessons are month by month, so you can
develop a sense of continuity with each instructor.
The lessons
schedule: July: Johnny and Kelly (Salsa Y
Control) August: Hacha Y Machete
(tentatively)
*** Noche de la Salsa, @ the BCCA ***
Saturdays BCCA 14 Green Street, Brookline (Coolidge
Corner) 9:30-10:30 Salsa lessons, all levels, no partner
needed. 10:30-2am, dancing, upstairs with DJ's D. Martinez and
Hernan, and
periodic guest DJ's ALL AGES www.salsaboston.com/bcca
Q: Why all
this?
A: Well, we have been listening to the feedback from many people
for the last 8 months since the BCCA opened, and observed what people want and
like, and we came up with this format to put together Boston's ONLY Saturday
Salsa Night, and not only that, in a spacious facility with Boston's best dance
floors and without all the nightclub hassle. This is truly an event "by
Salseros for Salseros".
Q: Will there be people there?
A:
Absolutely! This night is being put together by four dance companies, two
DJ's, SalsaBoston, the BCCA, and many friends. We intend that this will be
the premier Salsa Night on a weekend in Boston with a full house every
week!
Q: Where can I find more info about the night, parking, lessons,
etc.?
A: Several places: - Scroll down to the Mailbag item 1 for more
reopening info - Check out www.salsaboston.com/bcca - Check out the BCCA
website www.bccaonline.com - Call Olaf at 617-513-9841 to make group
reservations and if you have specific questions. - Call BCCA
at 617-738-2800 for general information about BCCA, classes, workshops,
sponsorship and contributions, and studio rentals for private parties and
workshops.
Q: Is there alcohol?
A: No, not at present due to
licensing. However, we don't intend to let that detract from the party, as
past experience has shown! Furthermore that allows the night to be open to
all ages, particularly the college people who are left out in the dark by the
nightclubs. BCCA is in the process of seeking a liquor license so that
patrons may enjoy some drinks, but this is a long and involved process.
Juice, soda, and water are available, as well as some snacks. If there is
demand, we will be looking into light food service like pizza slices and
empanadas, etc.

PROPER
DRESS REQUIRED, no tshirts, ratty jeans, caps
Salsa Night at Sophia's
includes a Casino Rueda class from 8:00 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.

Cuban Pete is doing a workshop here for me on the 21st of
November at Platforms , one class at 3 and so far another at 5 and performance
at 9:30 (check him out on Salsapower.com) He is a legend and I am lucky to
have him come up here for me. It is only because we have been friends from
the NY Palladium (100 years ago, ha) He is now pushing 80 and still really
active in the dance community. I am hoping that you as well as a lot of
the Boston crowd will take advantage of seeing him. He will teach all
levels, but specified he would like to have the advanced and professionals
attend. So, if you can help out in any way I would appreciate. It is
$35.00. and can send check to me at 200 Adelaide Avenue, Providence, RI 02907

Manolo's band performing live till 1:00 am. There's salsa dancing,

[SalsaBoston's Review] Check out Masa on
Tuesday nights! Featuring live latin jazz starting around 10pm, which
"decays" into Salsa later. It's a great place in the south end, a "high
end" southwestern (meaning somewhat spicy latin and american food)
restaurant. However, they serve $1 Tapas until 11pm--I tried a selection
and they are AWESOME! Order about 5-8 or so, and it's a decent meal.
They also serve a variety of house specialty Mojitos and Margaritas for about
$8-$12 as well, a little pricy, but the Tapas make up for it. No
cover. If you're willing to spend about $25-$20 in a nice loungee
atmosphere, have a few drinks, eat some great food, and some latin music and
dance, check it out. Tell them you heard it
here.
