Over 20 people signed up already in the few days since I announced it last

original non-dancer's perspective, either as a beginner or a advanced beginner 
that might be struggling, this is the class for you.  Non-gringos accepted 
too.  More details at http://salsaboston.com/salsa4gringos/workshop.html

650 in the house, and this time around Boston will take it even higher!  
Featuring a live music TBA, dance performances, and we'll be bringing back our 
Jack and Jill dance competition with cash prizes.  Mark your calendar for this 
Unforgettable Salsa "Throw Down"!  Brought to you as a joint production of 
SalsaBoston and Havana Club.

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.

Did Salsa change your life??
We want to know...
We have heard now some very interesting, inspiring, sweet, life saving 
experiences on how Salsa affected the life of our students and of people that 
jumped into the Salsa world (some of you have serious addiction problems :) We 
want to start a page on our website with those stories, with your permission. 
So we would love to hear how and why you got started in Salsa dancing, how did 
that affect your life and, whether we have permission to put that on our 
website. 
If you have already told us the story, please do again, so that we use your 
words... We know some of you married now, met in our classes, send us a baby 
picture... If you don't want it public, that is fine too, we won't post it, 
but we would love to hear it anyway... 
So please reply!

Salsa y Control Dance Company
Celebrating Our 5th Anniversay
******3 part series******

Friday, February 29, 2008 (leap year)
Havana Club hosted by Salsa y Control.
288 Green St. Central Sq. Cambridge, near the red line.

Special Party Celebrating the “Golden Age of Salsa: The 70’s”.
Come on boogie with us and have a psychedelic time!!!

Salsa is not only the captivating music we hear and dance to today. It is a 
social and cultural movement that exploded in the early 70’s, primarily in New 
York City. It was a search for identity for Latin New Yorkers and during that 
process became a way of life. Through a series of efforts to promote Latin 
music at that time, Salsa seemed to be the concept that best captured the 
meaning, feeling, and soul of Afro-Cuban/Latin music. Fania records put 
together some of the best singers and musicians of that era creating what is 
know as the Fania All-Stars. With numerous sold out concerts, Fania All-Stars 
were very influential in having the term Salsa catch on, not only in New York 
and the U.S, but throughout the world.

The party will feature:

-From the movie “El Cantante” with Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony ***EDWIN 
RIVERA performing his tribute to Roberto Roena from Fania
All-Stars***

outfit and enter for a chance to win $150 cash prize, dance lessons and

-Guests DJ D. Martinez, DJ Rob Suave, DJ Sonerito and DJ Travieso playing the 
best Salsa tunes from the 70s -Learn about your favorite Salsa artist of the 
70s through vintage footage playing on a big screen, photos, concert posters 
of that era and Salsa personalities impersonators. Meet and greet some of your 
favorite artists such as Hector Lavoe, Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, la Lupe, 
Ismael Rivera and many more.
-Usual Rueda lesson at 8:30pm and Salsa lesson at 9:30pm

ALL OF THIS FOR ONLY $15
21+, Dress To Impress (70s theme), cash bar, parking garage next to the
