| OTHER INFORMATION |
ID required for
admission to the club. This event has become a regular On 2 weekly
hangout, one of the most popular during the week. As usual, many
of the "pure dancers" come in later, between 9:00 - 11:00 PM.
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, but actually you are
pushing them to play more merengue, bachata & 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.
