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.

This
Thursday at Temporada Latina/Ryles marks the kick-off of our month long Taxi
Dancers fundraiser for Shriners Hospital for Children!
Throughout the
month of February we are bringing back "Taxi Dancing", a popular practice from
the 20's! We'll have male and female "Taxi Dancers" that you can "hire" to dance
with you for a dance ($3) or for a 15 minute semi-private lesson ($30). (I am
firming up the taxi dancer schedule and will forward the information to you
shortly.)
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.
This is a great opportunity to dance with someone you 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!
For
more information on the fundraiser, look for "Taxi Dancer" flyers this Thursday
at Temporada Latina/Ryles.
This week's DJ: DJ Latino (Antonio
Ortiz).
I look forward to sharing the dance floor with
you.
