Salsa Dancing This Week, and The Hawaii Salsathon Salsa Dance Festival

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Well, freshly back from Tampa, where I reviewed yet again the hazards of home ownership and passive armchair investing (and being taken by unscrupulous huxsters), I've returned to inform the world of the latest in salsa…but before we get to the Bay Area…

SalsaCrazy, as you all know, recently hosted the First Annual Hawaii Salsa Dance Festival, and is now returning to Paradise, to join forces with the established 7th Annual Puerto Rican Cultural Salsa Fest, for Salsathon! That's right, it's time to plan on returning with SalsaCrazy to paradise, this June. I mean it, this is a stellar event, and will be a great six month vacation (until we return to Hawaii in the February of 2008).

Salsathon …
"Since it's beginning in 2001 our celebration of El Dia de San Juan, Puerto Rico and fundraiser aka: Hawaii SALSATHON has been recieved with open hearts and tons of Aloha!

Through the tireless efforts of many volunteers, long hours and dedicated hearts we have manage to create a wonderful event that showcases our culture, our love of Ohana our fantastic local talent and an all out great day to celebrate while supporting the Hispanic Center of Hawaii.

2007 marks our 7th Annual Dia de San Juan, Puerto Rican Cultural & Salsa Festival aka: SALSATHON 2007! Salsathon was created as a means to help keep the Hispanic Center of Hawaii's doors open to continue to serve Hispanics in Hawaii. We've managed to do just that. Every little bit helps. This year we are proud and honored to have as our associate Mr. Albert Torres who has graciously agreed to be one of our guest emcees.

We sincerely hope that you will consider joining us this year as we celebrate our love for our heritage, our brothers and sisters around the world and of course our love of SALSA, while helping to generate funds for a worthwhile organization."

So, plan on it…

This week, in San Francisco Salsa

So, this Tuesday, it's Mojitos (the once a week Timba party in North Beach). Wednesday, La Luna Azul (the brand new party in Downton San Francisco, Thursday, things are getting Salsa Crazy - and I mean it. Salsa Dancing in the East Bay is going to take over the whole bay . . .

Two massive clubs, back to back, both with stellar acts, and both with a lineup of Thursday nights that are bound to cause some serious waves through the Bay Area salsa scene. This Thursday, at Karribean City we've got Jimmy Bosch, backed up by Anthony Blea, this will be an amazing concert. Also, just a few blocks away, Avance will be rocking the house at the newly reopened Maxwells. That's two amazing acts, back to back!

And then, this Friday, if that wasn't enough, Cigar Bar has a great lineup of Salsa acts on both Friday and Saturday, and Cocomo has DJ Ivette and Julio Bravo this Saturday too. And there's more salsa too, but that's enough of an update for now. The next few days are just absolutely amazing, and it's only getting hotter . . .

Oh, and of course, Bachata Dance Crazy, Bachata Dancing Mastery System, is a breakthrough set of instructional dance videos that are selling extremely well. Have you gotten your copy yet?

More news soon…
