Next Social - January 21, 2012
The social in January is very exciting for the very reason that we welcome back our friend and former AlbanySalsa.com instructor, Ana Zangroniz. Having performed with Klavekazi Dance Company for a couple of years now, Ana has convinced her dance partner to join her on this trip to the Capital Region. We are thrilled to inform you that Ana will be offering a workshop in Salsa (intermediate) partnerwork and what's even more exciting, will perform for the first time at our social. We are very proud of one of our own salsa dancers to achieve as much as Ana did in such a short time.
Needless to say, plan on coming! Chances are we may have a Rueda circle as well!
This social is only $10, and will feature Ana and her partner Brandon, our faithful DJ Frankie, pizza and fun! Let's start this year by putting your left foot forward, if you are a lead, and right foot back, if you are a follower.
See you on the dance floor!

The Socials
A salsa social is dance activity organized for dancers by dancers - it's a place simply to enjoy music and dancing, and also to network and mingle with fellow dancers and friends.
What differentiates socials from other dance occasions is that they shed the club myustique and often the profit motive, to creat an atmosphere where dancers of all levels can really do their thing. Socials have a relaxed social atmosphere and you never have to worry about when the next Salsa will come. It also tends to be much easier to dance with that guy or girl whom before looked like they were way too advanced to dance with at the club.
Usually held on weekends either in local halls or dance studios, socials tend to have events like performances from local or guest performers as well as community dances like "birthday dance" which help introduce everyone.
Socials are all about bringing together the Salsa community an creating a place for it to grow!

Our Mission
Over the last decade, Salsa has swept across the globe, spreading from the burroughs of New York City to countries such as Canada, the UK, Singapore, japan and even Russia, to name a few. In every major market city, you can find salseros and salseras, dancing On1, On2, and Casino Rueda, on almost every night of the week. Even in the smaller cities, communities are coming to life where there is strong love for salsa music and dance. Our goal is to bring that love for the music and the dance to the Capital Region. Furthermore we want to host an event where dancers from local and out of town studios, can come together to dance, relax and have fun.
Who We Are
Capital Region Salsa Social (CRSS) is organized and ran by a group of salsa enthusiasts who would like to grow, enrich and spread out the wonder that is salsa dancing to the Capital Region. These volunteers come from varying backgrounds, ethnicities and cultures, and all share the common love for all genres of salsa music and dance. All of the proceeds we gather are put right back into the Capital Region community of salsa dancers. We keep nothing for ourselves. For the most part, all proceeds are used to pay for premier salsa instructors from around the country to lead workshops, dazzle us with their performances, and show us how far we can really go with salsa if we so desire.
