George Mason Salsa Lock and Key Party

George Mason Salsa Lock and Key Party
The Azucar George Mason salsa club did a great job having their salsa lock and key party . It was very well attended and DJ Andy and Latin Soul did nothing to disappoint the crowd. The party was a non stop dancing affair as DJ Andy and Latin Soul provided all the dance music you could ask for. This was just the beginning of things to come from the Azucar Salsa club from George Mason. I was so proud to to see a lot of my students that I have been teaching for a couple of weeks out on the floor doing their thing practicing their moves and the doing the most important thing of all, they all seemed to make a conscious effort to stay on beat. Cesar Vance the president of the Azucar club was a perfect host as he stayed on the dance floor and mingled with every one in attendance. A big salsa shout out to the Azucar Salsa Club from George Mason for the fabulous job they did for putting this event together. They provided refreshments , great music, a great facility and The officers of the GMU Azucar salsa club are all friendly, organized and first class.

DC SALSA CONGRESS 2005 WAS SALSA BANANAS

Good morning everybody please allow me to introduce my self. My name is Earl Rush and I will be your salsa guide for the Great Dance/Stuckonsalsa newsletter. We are based out of Washington, DC but we have info on Salsa all over the United States.

This weekend just might have been just one of the exciting salsa weekends in my life as the DC Salsa Congress 2005 took place here in the Nation´s capital, Washington, DC.

When it was all said and done the DC Salsa Congress was one of the best Congresses that I have been too. It was non stop action. David Melendez and Shaka Brown did a tremendous job of putting this event together. When it was over I WAS SO FILLED WOTH JOYOUS EMOTION I SAt DOWN AND CRIED FOR BEING SO HAPPY.

DC had not had a salsa congress since Ricardo the Wepa man and Elba hooked up with Edie the salsa freak to do the Salsa Web salsa congress in 1999.

Friday night I came in to the ballroom and the place was jamming with Jimmy Bosch and La Romana. JIMMY BOSCH is a grammy award winning musician but on this night playing in front of their hometown crowd and people from all over the world, yes that´s right the DC Salsa Congress was international, La Romana quelled any doubts about how good they were. There were hot hot hot1!!!!! I had never heard them play like that in the last 8 years. They were incredible!! No I am not saying that because Edwin Ortiz the leader of La Romana took time out to acknowledge stuckonsalsa.commy web site for the work we have done for the salsa community and because he let me come on stage and dance , which was truly a highlight for me but because for that 2 hours they played they were in the salsa zone.

I have so much to say right now but I am so tired for the weekend I will have full report tomorrow.

I just want to take the time to thank my new partner Doug Fox for allowing me to be a part of something special which is the Great Dance/StuckonSalsa newsletter.greatdance.com Doug is a sals beast he already has 19 video clips of the Congress on line and 308 pictures posted. greatdance.com/salsa There will be pictures posted all week as the STUCKONSALSA correspondents Janice Woodward,SHEILA MCNEIL, HELENA,WERE ALL COVERING THE CONGRESS THIS WEEKEND. Tomorrow full report on Congress
