Hey everyone, The last few days have been a little crazy, so I
just realized I forgot to send this out: SalSaigon moving to
D-Talk studio
From now on, we (Fred and Urko) will be teaching our
lessons at D-Talk studio. We are still finalizing the schedule, so I
can't say which day or when we will start, but it will be soon.
Check out their website: http://www.dtalk.vn/Lessons continue at
La Habana
Together with our decision to move to D-Talk, we wanted
to choose some good teachers to take over at La Habana. Today (sorry
for the late notice!) XSalsa will start teaching Beginner and
Intermediate lessons, at the usual times. So if you were planning to go
there, go ahead!
Their price is a little bit higher, but... we were also planning to
raise the price a little bit, so they are basically doing what we were
planning to do. This is their website: http://xsalsa.net/
Thanks everyone, and see you soon! |

URGENT: No salsa at the Loft anymore! Dear all, I just got back home after going to The Loft, where I was informed that: - The previous management team has been fired (with very short notice). - The owner has decided there will be no salsa there at least until the World Cup is over. I can't describe how frustrated I feel right now. I am really sorry for all the people that come there for nothing, but there is absolutely nothing I can do. Nobody told me in advance, and I could not imagine anything like this would happen. Thanks for your understanding...
Hey everyone, here we go again! After a very successful first Sunday,
we are ready to take it one step higher. Hope to see you all there, as
this Salsa event is not-to-miss! Free entry, no cover charge! 20:30
Free Workshop for Beginners, if enough people are interested. IMPORTANT:
The workshop starts at 20:30 SHARP! If you or your friends are
interested in doing it, arrive at 20:25, and tell the DJ! We can't know
if you want to do the workshop if you just come in and sit around... :) 21:00
Free dancing until Midnight! Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=107023702678016 |

Hello everyone, This week, we are extra busy! New Weekly Salsa on Sundays at The LoftDue to recent events, we need a new place to go dancing every week. We have managed to find this amazing place, and I'm sure you all will love it. Great floor, great location, great decoration, amazing sound system... It's perfect! It had to change to Sundays, but hopefully everybody will quickly realize it's worth it. Similar concept to what we all know (and love). Check out the Facebook event and the poster here (click on it to see it big): http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=12157001788156020:30 Workshop for Beginners, if there is enough interest. Free dancing afterwards until Midnight. The Loft 38 Nguyen Hue, 2nd Floor, Lucky Plaza District 1 La Fenetre happening for (really!) the last time!As some of you know as well, last week was supposed to be the Grand Closing of La Fenetre... but the owner managed to postpone it a few days. Quite understandable! So let's make it happen one more time! No special surprises this time... at least not from us :) A "Soft Closing", I would say. From 20:30 until midnight. La Fenetre Soleil 125 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, 1st floor District 1 Hope to see everyone at one place or the other this week! |

Dear all,
They say all good things come to an end, and unfortunately that's true
for La Fenetre Soleil. This Thursday we will be holding our last weekly
Salsa session there.
We'll make it extra special, so I hope to see you there from 20:30 til
midnight!
La Fenetre Soleil 15 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, 1st floor, District 1.
Not much more to add, but stay tuned for news about our plans for weekly
dancing in the near future... ;) |

Dear salsa lovers,
As we expected it for a while now, the salsa
scene in Saigon is going to lose one of its favorite and oldest venues
for social dancing. Yes, unfortunately, the building hosting this
charming place will be torn down soon so La Fenetre will definitely
close at the end of the month.
The owners are trying to find an alternative venue so we will post news about this as soon as we receive them.
In the meantime, please come and say farewell tonight and next Thursday (we'll have a special evening), same time as usual.
Workshop at 8:30pm (just buy a cocktail to enjoy a free introductory salsa lesson) and social dancing following until midnight.
Come and show your support. Cheers
