The promoters putting on this event are Lucy Luu
and Otto Smooth, fellow On 2 salseros, who put a lot of energy and
enthusiasm into letting people know about the event with flyers and emails
at On 2 events and studios, and they're dedicated to helping everyone have
a good time. They invite all the On 2 dancers to come and have a great night dancing. The music is
almost exclusively classic salsa plus a bit of cha cha, bachata & merengue.
Cafe Remy has a good setup for a
mambo night with a medium-size dance floor in one section, a bar with
tables & seating in another section, plus a stage for when there's a band.
There's a pro sound system for both DJs and bands. The music is
almost exclusively classic salsa plus a bit of cha cha, bachata & merengue.

| OTHER INFORMATION |
ID required for
admission to the club. This event has become a regular On 2 weekly
hangout. As usual, many
of the "pure dancers" come in later, sometime after 9:30 or 10:00
PM, although some are there earlier.
Please Note: Commercial clubs are
established to please their customers & make a profit. If they get enough
complaints or suggestions, they will often make changes. As mambo dancers,
you should make every effort to let the management & DJ know what type of music
you want to hear, what volume & lighting conditions you want, how the dance
floor should be, etc. If enough salsa lovers give their opinions to
management & DJs, they will listen.
Also, since commercial clubs have high expenses and need to
make a profit in order to stay open and continue playing lots of salsa, they
will therefore cater to the customers who spend the most money. Mambo
dancers can help get what they want by spending more money at the bar, even if
it's sodas, fruit juices, virgin cocktails, water, sports drinks. You may
think you're smart by not buying anything at a club, or sneaking in a bottle of
water or liquor, but actually you are
pushing them to play more merengue, bachata, Reggaeton & English music, because customers
who prefer this music spend more money at the bar. If you want commercial
clubs to feature more salsa nights, you have to pay for it by purchasing
beverages at the bar. This is just simple economics.
