2006 HARBOR CRUISE SERIES We
just scheduled this year's 6th Annual Salsa Habor Cruise Series! Expanded
from last year, we're starting a week earlier, and ending a week later.
Every Sunday plus July 4. In a few weeks we'll have a flyer out for group
bookings and the cruise website will be updated. If you think your company
or organization might want to book a group outing, now is the time to plan
it. One way is simply to take the flyer-to-be to your HR department or
event planner and say "Hey, we should do this!" If you're a coordinator of
a social club or an event promoter, opportunities to partner with us for some
cruises us are available. Email olaf@salsaboston.com or call
617-513-9841 Last year's website: www.salsaboston.com/cruise
We're
looking for an marketing intern or two to help us this spring. The
position carries some pay and some commission. If you're interested in
joining the team, send me a couple paragraphs about yourself and a resume of
sorts if you have one handy.
See you on the
dancefloor! -Olaf

Have you checked out Masa? If you're up for a casual night and some dining
and an upscale bar, this place is cool on Thursdays. Casual lesson around
10pm, a mix of music, no cover. 439 Trement St, South End, Boston

If you missed the Congress or if you enjoyed it but didn't make it to the
congress shop, the DVD will be out by mid November at the latest and probably
sooner, and also Congress embroidered shirts (mens and ladies), caps, and hand
towels are available. We still have a lot of things to pay for this year,
so every purchase helps out. Shirts and the video are $20 each, and the
caps and towels $10. Buy any two and you get $5 off, so the video and a
shirt would be $35.

An Tua Nua is a great contemporary Irish bar & grill on
Beacon Street just outside of Kenmore Square (only about 3 blocks from
Sophia's). In the back they have a dance club about the same size as the
upstairs at Sophia's, with a sizable dance floor that holds about 150 people, a
bar, and plenty of lounge seating.
Close to the green line (St.
Mary's on the C train, Fenway on the D, Kenmore on the B), plenty of street and
lot parking.
Irish/America/Bar food available until 10pm. I have
eaten there regularly, it is very tasty and modestly priced.
Note: they
have Karaoke with my man Kev-Mac Daddy in the front portion of the bar when you
walk in, but don't let that scare you... Salsa is in the back room! Full
Bar. Please check your coat.

Throughout
the month of February, Temporada Latina will be having a fun dance benefit for
the Shriners Hospital for Children. We are bringing back "Taxi Dancing", a
popular practice from the 20's!
This will be a great opportunity to dance
with someone you may have never had a chance to dance with, to get pointers from
Boston's best dance instructors, and to raise money for a worthy cause while
dancing!
We'll have male and female "Taxi Dancers" that you can "hire" to
dance with you for a dance ($2) or for a 15 minute semi-private lesson
($30).
A majority of the money will go to Shriner's Hospital for Children
- a wonderful charity!
To date, the following Boston Salsa instructors
and personalities have graciously agreed to be Taxi Dancers on one or more
Thursdays in February:
Franny Josh Gomez & Julie -
AprilOn2/Melaza Raul & Suzanne - Dance Caliente & Assorted
Affairs/Temporada Latina Roberto & Vera - Jamnastics Victor & Burju -
Hacha Y Machete
(More "Taxi Dancers" are welcome! If you are interested,
please let me know.)
How it works: 1) Buy dance coupons from the
"dispatcher" at the door. 2) Present the coupon to an available Taxi Dancer you
want to dance with at the beginning of the song. The Taxi Dancers will wear
special T-shirts while "on duty"! Taxi dancing is from 10:30 p.m. - 11:30 p.m.
each Thursday in February.
Before each Thursday in February, I'll post
the names of the Taxi Dancers participating that night.
• Join us, and DJ
Hernan, this Thursday for a great night of salsa dancing! For more information
on the fundraiser, look for "Taxi Dancer" flyers this Thursday at Temporada
Latina/Ryles.
See you on the dance floor.
