SalsaNewYork Welcomes the latest Mambo Dancer 
to join our little community. RJ Lopez. The son of 
proud NY Mambo Instructor, Dancer and Addie-tude 
Dance Company Member Rodney Lopez. Looking 
at the picture I can see the family resemblance 
between father and son.

They're BACK!!! Some of the best known "Girls" in the pages of SalsaNewYork, The Latin Madness Girls, are back this month. From October 16th to November 2nd they'll be at the Hostos Community College up in the Bronx during the current run of the Off-Broadway Mambo Musical Latin Madness. Catch the Madness..... Latin Madness. For more info go to www.Latin-Madness.com


Poor Mario B, not even a can of Redbull can keep him up. 
And can you blame him with all the rehearsals, performing, 
traveling to and from NJ and juggling a day job with 
Night time performances of Latin Madness. 
Ahhhh.... the life of a dancer.

Before and After Shots: Some of the men of the

Many of the same male cast members of Latin Madness as they appear in the
tough Santo Rico number known as "Gangster. It goes to show you that they
are also in touch with their tougher side.

6th Annual B&W Ball. Its their version of the "Conga-line"

The Proof is in the Pudding.... I mean the Plate 
(License Plate that is).  Have you seen this car at your local 
Salsa Club or Social?  If you have, then beware, SalsaNewYork's 
"Doc Salsa" himself, Steve Shaw, will most likely be at the event in question.
