This week, Mambos is all about 2s. We've got 2 of the best DJs in the city teaming up this week to collaborate behind one DJ booth.  What happens when you mix DJ el Turco and DJ Ricardo in one night?  A lot of very good music and dancing, that's what.  And for Mambos' advanced beginner lesson, we have Le?a Dance Co. in the house to teach a bilingual salsa lesson.  Spanish and English, you ask???  Not exactly what they had in mind, but it's possible if you ask.  4 instuctors from Le?a will be splitting into twos to teach one combination On1 and On2 at the same time.  Read below for more details....   

Lessons This Week: 

On the first floor, MIT Salsa will be teaching an intro to salsa AND club-style cha cha dancing this week.  These lessons are always fun for beginners and you'll learn enough in one hour to keep you dancing all night long! No partner or experience necessary.  **Please try to arrive early for the beginners lessons to guarantee yourself a good spot in the circle.  The lessons are filling up in the first half hour.  

On the second floor, Mambos is pleased to have Le?a Dance Co. in the house this Friday night! Le?a will be teaching Mambos' first-ever "bilingual" salsa lesson. No. We don't mean that they'll be speaking Spanish and English during the lesson (but...they can if you want them to). 

They'll be "bilingual" because--out of the 4 instructors teaching this week--2 will be teaching a combination On1 and 2 will be teaching the same combination On2. That means, no matter what beat you feel or hear in the music, you'll get to learn one of Le?a's slick combinations 

All lessons begin at 9:30pm.  Free with admission, no partner necessary.

* All Ages!
* DJ Ricardo AND DJ el Turco
* $10 for members, $15 for guests
* Only 2 blocks from the Arlington T station. 
* Right off Route 90 and Route 93

Subject: MIT Salsa Club TUESDAY LESSON ROOM CHANGE.
Message-ID: <643042.47027.qm@web65513.mail.ac4.yahoo.com>

Hi MIT Salsa Clubbers,

Yes.  That's right. Both Monday AND Tuesday's class locations have been changed for this coming week. MIT is doing work on the floor in Morss Hall this week (hopefully, they're installing tons of hardwood...but I wouldn't count on it.)

So here's the deal: Monday's class is booked.  There is no more room for students to fit in Monday's class. 

Tuesday's class is wide open.  However, we were AGAIN moved to a much smaller room, a room that can only fit 50 people in it.  So...beginning this second, reply to this email right away if you'd like to take Tuesday's Advanced Beginner lesson.  The first 50 people to respond to this email with their names (and names of guests joining them) will get an email reply with the location link of Tuesday's lesson.

See you at Mambos tonight, and see you next week for some "secret-room salsa"!  

Chris
