Well Salseros, it's Congress weekend in Boston! Read on below.
But first, a couple of quick items:
- Thursday, April 9, "Congress Encore Presentation" at Club Caribe! We'll be in full swing there, with performances, DJ D. Martinez, and Guest DJ Saoko from Providence! It'll be a perfect night to try out the new moves you learned at the Congress, or if you missed the shows we'll have some there. More details next week.
Havana Club will be open this Friday and Saturday as usual if the Congress thing is too much for you. This Saturday Cinco Son plus one will be performing live, plus Havana Saturday kicks off its new intermediate lessons. More below.

Boston Salsa Congress April 3-5 |
Boston Salsa Congress this weekend
$5 Last Minute Coupon Good for Purchases Friday from 11am-1pm
Use coupon code "SALSABOSTON"
I had the pleasure of chatting with 2009 Congress Director, "Choco" Knight, this evening and was surprised to learn that he is now running the Congress by himself, which is a feat--trust me! He graciously is extending SalsaBoston fans a last minute discount worth $5 off any ticket purchase. Just visit the ticket section and enter the coupon code when you complete your purchase. But hurry, it's only good from 11am-1pm Friday (today)!
If you've never been to a Congress, it's a sight to behold. It's three nights and two days of non-stop dancing, performances, workshops, live bands, and socializing. You can come for any or all of it, i.e just take some workshops, just dance at the evening events or watch the shows, or do the whole thing end to end. In the last case, I can assure you your dancing will improve dramatically!
The events take place in Kendall Square/Cambridge, at the Marriott Hotel (not the Courtyard Marriott where we host Club Caribe on Thursdays). The ballroom was just renovated over the winter and should be quite nice.
See you there!

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.

Havana Fridays and Saturdays |
|
|
News from Havana Club:
And this Saturday, Havana Saturdays Live is back in the South End with the Cinco Son (plus one) band. They've responded well to the feedback about playing shorter songs- and have been playing five and six minute renditions of their trademark powerful classic salsa, merengue and cha cha songs. Come join us for a great evening of salsa dancing with one of Boston's most talented latin bands.
Also, this Saturday we'll do beginner lessons from 9-9:45 and intermediate lessons from 9:45-10:30. That'll give beginners a chance to either challenge themselves after the first lesson or an opportunity to have a drink on the beautiful balcony and take a break before the show.
Photos and Videos from last week's parties can be seen online at HavanaClubSalsa.com
