Who knew Bethesda would become such a salsa hot bed?
Beware of the Bethesda Salsa Triangle
First there was the Barking Dog on Tuesday and the next thing I know Jamie and Alfredo are doing something at Divino's on Tuesday and there is also a Salsa venue at South Beach hosted by the BDC ballroom company . The last time something was hot on Tuesday in the DC area was at Lulu's with Ricardo and Elba but that was back in the salsa hey day about 6 years ago. Lulu's is still happening at 22nd and M st nw Washington, DC. and you can still get excellent classes from Avram and Ricardo but it not like it was back in the day But to be honest with you I have not been in a while so I cannot truthfully tell you how it is , I have been going by what my salsa sources have been telling me. So to be fair to Ricardo for all I know Lulu's could be could be off the salsa meter for all I know.
That's just like evrybody telling you who the best instructor in DC is but yet they have only had classes from 2 instructors when there are a lot more. But we will talk about that another day. This story is about Bethesda.
So not only does Bethesda have 3 salsa venues on Tuesday all within a half mile radius, Michelle Reyes is having her grand opening at South Beach tonight in Bethesda which looks like it is going to be a great sala venue. She will be having PsyonMauricio fka as Dee Scott to teach mambo and DJ Mike "El Sonero" Morales of Divino fame to rock the salsa house. They will also have a separate floor for merengue,bachata,reggaeton and hip hop.
I will give you the skinny tomorrow as my partner Doug Fox and I will be covering the event for the Great Dance/StuckOnsalsa newsletter/salsa and http://stuckonsalsa.com
