Salsa: Salsa! The smooth, beautiful music with the joyful,
vibrant Carnaval beat, is a dynamic combination of rhythms from the world's
African, Caribbean and Latin regions.
Salsa is continuing its decades
long growth to embrace all ages and all people.
In Latin dance music, the
male dancer leads his partner in a joint expression of her sensuality, and
together their movement should be elegant to behold. To become a good salsa
dancer requires commitment, practice and good instruction.

******************************************************************* 5) Dear
Friends of the Dance, As the autumn season wanes and winter approaches, we at
the North Shore Civic Ballet would like you to remember that spring is on the
horizon. Our biggest and most successful fundraising event, the 8th Annual
Fiesta de Baile and Silent Auction, has been scheduled for March 24, 2007 at the
Nahant Country Club with its fantastic dance floor. Beginning at 9:00pm with a
complimentary salsa lesson from professional dancers, the evening is sure to be
a lively tribute to the Latin art form. DJ Antonio Ortiz will once again provide
us with the authentic sound until 1:00pm. Hors d’oeuvres are included with
admission and a cash bar is available throughout the evening. The silent
auction, an important part of the event, promises a wonderful array of eclectic
items and services, catering to all ages, dancers or spectators. The many
wonderful gift donations provide us with the opportunity to raise funds for the
NSCB, and in these lean times, they are very necessary for the continued
operations of the school. As a previous contributor to our organization, we urge
you to save the date in your 2007 calendar, put on your dancing shoes, and open
your pocketbook to us.
The enclosed forms have donation level
descriptions for table reservations and we hope you are feeling expansive. You
may order tickets early at a discounted rate of $30.00 each, as we will charge
$35.00 on the night of the Event. We encourage you to plan early to reserve
tables since seating is limited at the country club. Donations to the NSCB of
any amount are always welcome at any time.
Thank you in advance for your
support of the arts and of the dance experience. In this stressful world, we are
reminded of how grateful we are to live in a place that allows us to move and
dance freely. Happy Holidays to you and to all the special people in your
life. Yours truly, Paula K.
Shiff

Colombiano Friday,
March 30, 2007
El Bembé now offers a more diverse, cultural

dedicated to providing a wider scope of cultural music and dance of Latin
America, exposing dancers, artists, and music lovers to a larger range of styles
and rhythms.
Join us for El Bembé Colombiano which will offer a unique
opportunity for dancers to learn new steps and to enjoy new musical styles
including Cumbia, Vallenato, and more! Taking the night further, the DJ

Colombian musical styles adding to this unique cultural
experience. 9:00 p.m. Complimentary Dance Lesson 10:00 p.m. - 1:30
a.m. Dance Party and Live Performance
EL BEMBÉ, a fixture in Boston's
Salsa movement since 1999, caters to a diverse audience ranging from Latin music
and dance enthusiasts to beginner, advanced, and professional Latin dancers.
Perhaps the most unique characteristic of EL BEMBÉ is that all proceeds from the
event are re-invested into the CLA's arts programs; therefore, patrons not only
enjoy a unique celebration, but they also contribute to the cultural life of the
city of Boston.

Do
you ever feel stuck or like you've hit a plateau in your learning?
Have
you been looking for a new way to improve your salsa dancing?
Consider
joining a "semi-private" group: these groups have the feel of personalized
instruction, but at a fraction of the cost. In addition, you become part
of a terrific group of dancers who love practicing together as well as going out
to clubs. Groups last for 4 weeks, and March 18th or 19th is your next
chance to join! There are a few spots still available for both leaders and
followers.
If you are ready to take your salsa dancing to a new level,
