5.)  Salsa Dancing Benefit for One of Boston's Own!

On November 25th, just two days before Thanksgiving, one of Boston's own, Sarah Bayer, lost her home and most of her belongings in a multi-home fire. Thankfully, she and the other residents are safe. Sarah is a regular in the Boston salsa scene with her cool moves and bright smile always lighting up the dance floor! Many dancers are organizing an event to help Sarah through this difficult time. There are many ways you can be involved:

Join us Sunday, December 7th at Ryles Jazz Club in Inman Square for the Benefit Evening. Come to dance, buy a raffle ticket and show your support for a long-time member of the Boston Salsa community. 

For more information about this event, visit the Facebook event set up for the fundraiser:
