SALSA (Introduction) Wednesday, July 16, 2008 - 6pm-7pm
Learn this flirtatious and addicting Latin dance. Salsa has captured the obsession of thousands of dancers around the world because of its infectious rhythm, simplicity of steps and versatility of styling. This workshop will give you the fundamental steps so you can dance Salsa with confidence at any social event. Feel like a professional dancer without the pressure of an audience.

SALSA (Styling and Latin Movement) Thursday, July 17, 2008 - 6pm-7pm
Salsa is very appealing because of its improvisational fluidity of movement. Basic steps do not have to look simple! Arm and hip styling will make your dance steps more attractive. In this workshop you will learn to utilize your whole body to make your dance steps more exciting.

CHA CHA (Introduction) Thursday, July 17, 2008 8pm-9pm
More catchy than the Salsa, the Cha Cha is the gateway to becoming one with the Latin rhythm. For decades this dance style has been a refreshing delicacy on the dance floor. The shuffle of the feet of the Cha Cha is as delicate as the rustle of autumn leaves or as natural as the the beating of one’s heart.

Registration is $20 per person, per class or $35 for two classes. Partners not required.

Space is limited! To register, please contact the education department at
732-246-SHOW, ext. 545 or education@statetheatrenj.org

New York City is the mecca for Salsa dancers because of the quality and quantity of venues. Everyone knows that, but New Jersey now has a new Salsa venue that measures up to any dance social in the city. 46 Lounge, located in Totowa, New Jersey, hosts Mambo Tuesdays. It is hard to beat the services of this salsa spot. A mere $5 cover buys a dinner buffet, a Salsa class, and 5 hours of Salsa music for dancers by DJ Ray Colon.

And this is only the beginning. Let’s face it. It is not always about the money. The dance floor, in dancer’s dream condition, is surrounded by a trendy lounge setting. The perfect balance of dim and accent lights sets the mood for an afterwork drink, or to unwind in a relaxed, upscale, underground Salsa party.

Seasoned professional dancers are easily drawn to this venue. On the random Tuesday night that I attended in early June there was no shortage of Salsa pros. Real quick, let’s see: Magna Gopal, Griselle Ponce, Pzzass Dancers, Marcus Nieves and Kimberly, Bernie and gang from Plan B, etc etc.

Enough said? Good. Mark it on your calendar and support this Salsa event!

That time is here again. Time for another two-hour Dance workshop and Latin Ballroom Dance Social. You really cannot beat this. Beautiful dance floor, great music, great people, free refreshments and snacks.

Here is another hot event! Victor Manuelle will give a free concert as part of the SummerStage concert series in Central Park in New York City. When I started dancing Salsa, Victor Manuelle was one of my favorite singers. My taste in Salsa has evolved greatly but I still love “pop salsa”. We, the Scarlet Mambo gang, will be attending the concert to dance Salsa. Join us!

The outdoor concert is “rain or shine” at the Rumsey Playfield in Central Park (directions). Things to know are listed at the SummerStage website.

“Latin music’s superstar graces the stage. Presented in association with Globe Star Media. Victor Manuelle is Latin music royalty. The Puerto Rican-born sonero is considered salsa’s leading man. His new album, Soy, features several tracks produced by Emilio Estefan. With seven Sony Music albums to his credit, Manuelle has appeared on the Grammys with Marc Anthony and Gloria Estefan in a tribute to Latina diva Celia Cruz. Manuelle was also invited to the White House in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month.”

The 7th Annual Salsa Congress is coming up at the end of this month (Aug 30th - Sep 2nd, 2007). Participants come from all over the world to experience the raw New-York-Salsa-Style so it is a great place to make new salsa friends. Besides, New York is very close to us, it would be a shame to miss it this year. I will be attending every single night and a few people are going with me each night.
