Fabienne and Jen,

It took me two years to discover a "salsa scene" of Boston, and we definitely have it, at least me and my friends we have one of our own. You will have a plenty of dancers all night long soon, it is for sure. I am sorry you have such a bad experience dancing salsa in Boston. You mentioned a bad experience at a Harvard University salsa night Fabienne. Personally, I was twice at a salsa event organized by HU, and will never go again, it had a quit unpleasant atmosphere, as you described. However there are number of places where I am going to recommend you to go. As you do not have any dancers yet, try to go to Ryles on Thursdays, for example, there are a lot of dancers - guys, and it has never ever happened to me, that they would not ask for a dance, you just need to keep standing, not sitting and look into eyes of other people so you make it easy for a potential dancer to approach you. Soon you will have so many salsa friends you will have pain in your feet after the club at 1 – 2 am. Sometimes I have so much pain I have to take analgetics after three - four hours of constant dance, and I know I will have it but dance anyway. One important thing I forgot to tell you, it is great to renew and refresh the circle of your dancers by attending few salsa classes (intermediate or advanced), and always you meet so many people who love to salsa, those people will become your regular dancers also in the club. For example you can attend classes by Madelaine and Jaime in JohnyD's on Sundays and stay for a salsa night after the class, or you can attend classes by Hips on Fire (Seemore and Cristina) any time of the week, and then go to either El Bembe or Ryles, or Sophias, you can also meet people at the class in Sofias (Wednesdays) or you can meet excellent dancers in April's class in Aquarium (Tuesdays). I met most of my dancing friends in classes I took about a 1.5 ago, some at Hips on Fire, others at April's and others at Madelaine and Jaime classes, and still run in a number of them anyplace I go anytime a week. You have to create your own circle of people, your own salsa scene, it's gonna grow exponentially, as each of your new salsa friends will introduce you to another two or three etc., and suddenly you will now most of the regular salseros, so anyplace you go, anytime a week, you will run into some of them and will have dancers for the whole evening,
