Our Pick for Salsa Tonight - May 30th, 2007


North by Northwest is our pick for Salsa Tonight. DJ Jose Rodriguez is the DJ and the crowd is fun and always willing to have a good time. We've been there quite a few times and everybody dances with everybody. It's one of the few places left were is all about Salsa. So if you want to go out and dance tonight this is the place to be. Admission is only $5 and there is plenty of parking on the Street. See flyer for more info.

500+ at Stardust Finale Gala

This past Saturday May 26th, 2007 we had our Finale Gala at the Stardust In Pennsauken, NJ. Over 500 guest attended this last dance. The rain, thunder and lightning tried to crash our party but did not dampen our spirits. Everyone had a wonderful time. We'll post pix and video in the next couple of days.

We missed a couple days!

I know we missed a couple days of contributing to our blog. The preparation for our Grand Finale Gala was more than expected. Hopefully starting today we'll get back on track.

Frequently Asked Questions Stardust Finale Gala

Frequently Asked Questions:

2. How long will the tickets be available online?
You have up until Midnight on Friday to purchase tickets online.

3. I heard that I can purchase tickets at the Atrium, is that true?
This has some truth to it. Barbara has been kind enough to sell tickets to her students during the week. We will be at the Atrium on Thursday (May 24th) night from 9pm to 9:30. So if you want to get a ticket in person this is the only place. While you are there you can take an Intermediate Salsa Lesson which starts at 8pm and goes to 9:15pm. There is a fee for the class.

4. We heard a rumor that if you purchase a ticket to this dance you get free admission to the Grand Opening of the Bellmawr Stardust Latin Dance, is this true?
We were going to surprise everyone. But the cat is out the bag. Yes it is true. If you attend the last dance you will get a ticket for free admission to our Opening in September. Its like getting two for one. Its our way of showing our appreciation for your support.

5. Can you tell us about the Performances?
We will have 3 Salsa Dance groups performing Salsa routines. Each routine will be less than 5 minutes in length. Total performance should be only 15 minutes. The performances will take place between 11:30pm and Midnight. The groups are Visual Impact, George and Charlotte, and Mas Estilio.
