: : I don't agree with "It's a strange thing in Salsa--whenever I've gone to a class anywhere, by some miracle the ratio almost always works out even."

: : In Boston it's usually more men than women. I can't say about all classes, and it depends on number of things, but here is some statistics:

: : Supershag, Waltham, MA - more men.
: : Jonny & Kelly, Cambridge, MA - more men.
: : Jonny & Kelly, downtown, Miami Club - even
: : Punto Final, Lawrence, MA - beginners: even, more
: : women?, advanced: more men?

: : Eddie Torres Company (Maria, Melissa, ...),
: : Newark, NJ - always more girls
: : Raz'M'Taz, NYC - intermediate: even, beginners: more men

:
: Hmmm... interesting observations. I'll modify my claim: The larger the establishment and the more general the appeal, the more even the ratio. Of course it's a generalization. At Sophia's for example, I'd say on average it's even, but occasionally we get skewed one way or the other.

: Anyway, to answer the original question, at the Congreso, we're not expecting a problem!

: By the way, Miami Club has closed its doors until further notice. :-(

Great! As long as it's even or more men, then I'm cool!
