    David Melendez

    We are so saddened by the news that David Melendez has passed away. We have so much to be thankful to him. He was such a great man with such great talent and inspiring so many wonderful dancers. He spread the joy of dance to the kids, and so many kids have learned to dance because of David. He was so good to us bringing us into the salsa world, and another joy opened up for us. Our hustle kids are devastated as we are by this loss. They were handpicked by David to work us. He gave us the honor of working with the kids. There is an unbelievable joy that comes from that. And many people have complimented us on what a great thing we do for the kids, but we have to thank David for this. We will be sure to carry this on. We all miss him so much. He will never, ever be forgotten. He will always live on in all of us. He has touched our lives so much and inspired us so much, as we know he has done the same to many many other people. David, we love you.

    Letter From The Editor

    Dear readers, it is with great pleasure we enter our 7th year of providing you with our weekly newsletter, DanceTalk®.  Our goal is to keep the dance community, at large, informed of dance socials, new and classic dance oriented music (and the artists), conventions, dance history/pioneers and dance related news. The newsletter is distributed weekly, in bulk mail. The system has its kinks and sometimes doesn't execute as intended. Various e-mail providers are installing tougher and tougher filters that block e-mails from their users.
    If you don't receive your weekly copy, please tell us. We have no way of tracking who received it or not. You can also go directly to the website to get the most up to date issue http://www.mjames.org/ ronbess.html 
    And/or  just click on the blue DanceTalk logo and that will take  you to the website. DanceTalk®

    We are happy to share with you that we continue to grow on a daily basis, reaching thousands of dancers all over the USA. If you would like to add a friend to our distribution, have them write us with their e mail address and their city. Their subscription will begin the following week.
    Letters to the editor are welcome. We try to include letters twice a month - depending on space limitations. Regretfully, we cannot promise to post every letter.
    If you would like your social dance or event posted please forward us a short paragraph with the name, location, admission charge, DJ, and contact information. Deadline for all postings are Sunday at noon. We cannot publish dance classes and lessons.
    For sponsorships and advertising write to Ron or Stacy.
    We also invite your comments, ideas and suggestions...to make this, your newsletter, the most informative dance letter on the Internet.
    Thank you,
    Ron Bess

    Letters To The Editor

    Hello Ron,
     First of all, I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your family personally for attending our Grand Opening.  We were very happy you were there. 
    Secondly, on behalf of Jameson, Rob and myself, we also like to thank the community for the overwhelming outpouring of support that everyone showed that night.  It was unbelievable how many people attended our Grand Opening.  We had over 300 attendees.  Everyone had an amazing time and we look forward to more wonderful parties in the future.
    Thank you,

    Hey Ron,
    Great letter, I would like to comment on the hustle hall of fame and give my congratulations to Susan Marolda and the other new members. I met Susan at the International Hustle - Salsa competiton last spring. She is a true superstar. I saw her on dance fever in the 80's. I think it is great that you pay tribute to these and other dancers. Thanks Ron for spreading the word and keeping the hustle a live. I would also like to give a shout out to my friends in New York - Gina and Beth.

    Miracle/Friendship Ball Tess was a precocious eight year old when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money....
