New salsa night at MasterJay Moves Dance Studio.  Starts December 2, 2010. See details below

Location: 1807 Chestnut Street 2nd flr. Philadelphia PA 19107
Phone: 215-564-2575
Cost: $3
When:
Starting Thursdays December 2, 2010
9pm to 2am
Music: Salsa, Merengue, Bachata
Comments: Intermediate lesson 9pm to 10pm.

Miss Kitty’s Nightclub is a place that I would go if I lived in Iowa.   It has a nice large hardwood dance floor, bar,  and seating area around the dance floor. Not to mention a friendly crowd, good dancers, and a good time.

On Thursdays, Melanie Rivera from Salsa Des Moines teaches the free beginner lesson from 9PM to 10PM.  She tailors the class to the skills of the dancers  that night.  When I visited this October 15th, there were at about 36 men and women taking the class.    It was pleasant to see so many people coming to learn, some for the first time.   I would recommend this class if you have never danced salsa before.  Melanie breaks down the basic steps and turns for you at a slow pace and then ramps up the speed to that of a regular salsa song.   For those that can handle extra challenge, she adds some styling for the women.

From 10PM to 11 PM the music was mainly salsa with some bachata.  Overall the crowd was friendly and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves dancing.  As the night went on, more of the intermediate and the seasoned dancers appeared.    There was ample dance space at Miss Kitty’s Nightclub, I never had to worry about dancing in someone’s space or feel like I may get stepped on.

If I lived in Iowa, I would make this one of my regular nightclubs to go salsa dancing.  Please remember to show your support by buying some drinks while you are there.. This is one place I’d like to visit again when I’m in Iowa.

From September 11th to 13th, 2009 Madrid, Spain will host Convencion Salsea, the first SALSEA Convention ever with a first class variety of artists and dancers.

Two nights and two afternoons there will be social dancing,  shows and performances. There will be more than 35 workshops and more than 2000 square meters of wooden dance floor! The event will take place in the Madrid hotel Auditorium, with perfect conditions and additionally 1000 rooms available for 34€/person (tax included).

So why is Convencion Salsea considered a Convention and not a Salsa Congress:
because they start at 11:00pm with spectacular performances and social dance at the same time (parallel) until 3:00am and after this until 5:30am pure social dance. You can also practice after the workshops or at the party with your professors. It is a big party of professional instructors, dancers, dj’s, and friends!
