Jan 18-24 Baltimore Salsa Dancing

We have a new venue starting this week on Wednesdays at Sammy’s Trattoria in downtown Baltimore. Join your meetup hosts for our first salsa night at this location. On Saturday, start with dinner at 7:30 pm followed by lessons at 9:00 pm and open dancing at 9:45 pm with Baltimore Salsa Meetup and SalsaNow at Azul 17 in Columbia. What a great place for Baltimore and DC to meet halfway. Have you checked out the lineup for the March 27 Baltimore Salsa Fest? Instructors and performance teams are traveling from DC, VA, and NJ to bring you a different salsa flavor to help you enhance your current repotoire. If you already know LA Style Salsa, challenge yourself to learn Mambo. If you have the combinations memorized, but need to add a little sizzle, take the footwork or body isolations class. If you want to dance in a circle while laughing and passing partners around, sign up for Rueda. For something completely different, experience Timba-Fusion.

Jan 4-10 Baltimore Salsa Dancing

We’re migrating over to www.salsa-source.com, but we’ll keep this website up for a few more months.

Cheers to the new you in 2010. Even if you don’t have a gym membership, the Baltimore instructors and promoters are bringing you lots of fun exercise opportunities in the form of workshops, bootcamps, dance teams, cardio classes, and festivals. Those are in addition to the regularly scheduled weekly classes and parties. Go ahead and immerse yourself. By summer, you’ll have taken your dancing to a higher level and reshaped your body. Sounds like a plan to me! If you haven’t figured this out already, Salsa is an extraordinary journey to a healthier lifestyle. You may even notice your list of friends on popular social networks growing larger and larger as you meet new people in the dance community. Start by joining the Baltimore Salsa Meetup at the Salsa Block Party on Friday where there will be a very special belly dance performance.

Dec 28 – Jan 3 Baltimore Salsa Dancing

Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. Where are you going on New Year’s Eve? Are you a part of the Baltimore group attending Salsa Metro’s NYE party at the Hilton in Rockville? Did you pre-order tickets to The Salsa Room in Virginia? Did you decide to stay in Baltimore and challenge your friends to stay awake until 10am dancing at Latin Palace? Or, perhaps you are taking the cheap route to La Palapa’s with no cover charge? Then, of course, there are house parties and just chillin’ at home. Make sure to get plenty of rest Friday and join the Baltimore Salsa Meetup at Zen West in the evening. If you live in Southern Maryland, check out Brasas in Waldorf – Erissa & Jonny (Latin Palace instructors) teach there every Friday. On Saturday, visit DJ Gustavo at the 13th Floor. Get ready for the new year with your meetup friends, because we are scheduling events like crazy.

Dec 21-27 Baltimore Salsa Clubs

Did you survive the Baltimore Blizzard 2009? You were hoping they’d announce a snow emergency for Monday so you could stay home and recover from all that shoveling, didn’t you? Since they didn’t and you’ve been stuck in the house all weekend, go to Talara’s on Monday night for your Salsa fix. On Wednesday, join the crowd at Red Maple to celebrate Sassy Debbi’s birthday. By Saturday, when you are experiencing cabin fever again, pack the house at the Salsa Jam holiday party (postponed from December 19). With all that spare time this week, make a decision about where to dance on New Year’s Eve and invite all your friends. Latin Palace is a local option. The Salsa Room in Arlington is a bit further away.

Nov 30-Dec 6 Baltimore Salsa

If I had to choose between SalsaNow’s most recent venues, Mustang Alley’s wins hands down and I can’t wait to go back. Did you feel like a stuffed turkey last week? Some of us went to La Palapa’s to work it off with some much needed Salsa dancing. The crowd kept pouring in until there wasn’t even a place to stand. What’s new this week? The most exciting event is Sean’s Triple Step Trio classes at Zen West on Saturday. WC Swing, cha-cha, and Salsa are being offered in the afternoon. Make your way to the 13th Floor in the evening. That’s it. Have a great week.

Nov 23-29 Baltimore Salsa Venues

Happy Thanksgiving! Great memories were made this past weekend at Sean’s birthday bash at Zen West, the annual Puerto Rican Gala, and Mustang Alley’s. What’s new this week? We have one more official Baltimore Salsa Meetup event for 2009 this following Saturday, after that, the organizers are taking a holiday hiatus for a month. We’ll continue to list Salsa nights on the meetup calendar and I’ll continue to send out the weekly blog. Before we take that much needed rest, we invite you to join us for a Meet & Greet this Saturday. This is an important opportunity to represent the Baltimore salsa scene and test drive a potential new venue with SalsaNow. Join us at 8 PM at Wow Cafe for a special Meet & Greet followed at 9 PM by a beginner level salsa lesson. If you’re up for a road trip then on Wednesday, The Salsa Room in Arlington, VA is having their annual Food Drive and Salsa Party with La Tremenda band. DC Salsa Meetup will hold it’s pre-Thanksgiving party there and many of us from Baltimore are joining them for a good cause. Before you ask, I don’t know of any venues open on Thanksgiving Day – Call first.
