Want2Salsa Happenings

It has been sometime since we gave u a report from W2S home station in Fayetteville NC. It has been a very busy dancing Salsa time. During this month we have been supporting our local Salsa venues: Hellas Night Club (Friday nights), Big Apple Sports bar (Wednesday nights), and Zero Degree night Club (Saturday Nights). We have two DJ’s that cover these three establishments: DJ Pete el Rey del Mambo and DJ Eric el Chileno; they bring in quest DJs that come and show their skills to the loving Salsa dancers of our city. In a feel good story for our Salsa community DJ Pete was nominated as one of the best DJ’s in the state of NC. The Salsa scene in our city is starting to blossom and mature thanks to these two fantastic DJ’s that make every Salsa night the place to be for all Salsa lovers that want to dance or listen to good music. During this time we also went out and supported our fellow Salsa brothers and sisters in the cities of Wilmington, Durham, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill.

Want2Salsa also attended the Compare Foods Music and Games day, which was held on the grocery chain's parking lot. It was a family-oriented affair, with activities for children and adults alike. The event featured two Mexican bands, who played a variety of Banda and Cumbia. There was also a DJ who played a spin of Salsa and Bachata. There was plenty of food, and plenty of games for the children. In all, it was a nice and relaxing event for the Latin community.

Wilmington: We at W2S decided to enjoy the good weather we been having in NC and took a trip to visit our Salsa family in Wilmington, the Wilmington Latin Dance Studio have their monthly social. It was an incredible weekend of Salsa dancing and spending time at the beach; “that is what we call a fun Salsa weekend”.

Durham: This is one of the best places to go Salsa dancing on a Thursday night. We at W2S and our Salsa brothers and sisters from Baile con Sazon decided to take a weekday Salsa trip to Cuban Revolution Salsa meet up night sponsored by the Cobo Brothers. This was a fun night of Salsa dancing with some of the best dancers of the area in this beautiful restaurant/club. We danced the night away and had a great time, but W2S family if you ever in the area on a Thursday night this is the place to go for Salsa dancing, the only thing don’t get there too late because it gets really full and it is difficult to dance later on in the night.

Raleigh: We also went to one of our favorite locations to dance Salsa in North Carolina “Carmen’s Cuban Café”. This is one of the locations with the most space to dance and enjoy yourself with dancers of all levels and a welcoming atmosphere. The music was fantastic and lively we just could not stop dancing all night; DJ Mike from Triangle Dance Studio was on fire all night long and all the dancers were having the time of their lives.

Chapel Hill: We finished the month by going to one of the Sunday socials at the Triangle Dance Studio. This social always provides a good a relaxing time with some really nice people that enjoy a good dance on a Sunday night. The dancers that were there that night were from beginners to intermediate and a few advanced dancers.
