You put your smarts and heart into keeping up informed and entertained and we love and appreciate you for it! Mwah! Lori Brizzi NY Hustle Congress ................................... Ron could you please remind your readers to please call in and vote for Dave & Zoe that will be dancing on Americas Got Talent. They are the greatest people and were recently married. I know from mutual friends that this is everything they have dreamed about. I can see their names in lights in Las Vegas. Lets make their dreams come true. Thanks, Wes Lawson ................................... Happy birthday wishes Ron,  Just wanted to say you did a great job at Discoamerica and we look forward to seeing you at the hustle congress in NYC. I also wanted to congratulate Sonya on her pregnancy.  Philadelphia is so lucky to have her. Her socials at La Luna are always packed and she is always bringing new teachers and ideas to the area.  Keep up the great work, Angelo Martin ................................... Hi Ron: I always welcome your newsletter with great joy!! And i have been a fan for years. I am reaching out to you for a suggestion, and your help is appreciated. I am a divorced Disco Diva - LOL- and do not have a steady dance partner (nor boyfriend). But I would love to attend some of these great events and have a great time, as I love to dance and do dance hustle pretty well. Can you suggest any way for a female dancer to meet a male dancer? Should i just go to an event and see what happens? I am quite shy, so that would be hard. Thanks. ................................... I've been enjoying your "favorite dance clubs of the past" and it sparked an idea.  What about having people write in about their favorite socials now and why they like them.  I know you wouldn't want to write any negative feedback that might hurt a dance club, but the positive feedback might give people a reason to make the effort to try out a dance club.  When I see a social on your website I usually ask another dancer if they've been there and what they thought of it.  I like to know about the deejays music style, the size of the room, quality of the dance floor, age group and how welcoming the crowd is.  It's even helpful to know the parking situation. Just a thought! Joanne The 2010 Hustle Salsa Cruise Sail into the new year in style. Get on board with the longest running hustle cruise and make it a year to remember. Set sail on January 16th as you'll step on to the Navigator of the Seas. A five night exotic trip that leaves the port of Miami and will glide you to Labadee to Ocho Rios.

Your hosts, Drew, Nino and Caren,  have been entertaining and sailing with the dance community for 11 years. You wont stop dancing until you return on January 21st.  You'll dine and dance and be spoiled at sea. Your package price includes fabulous meals, buffets, 15 hours of dance workshops, 10 social dance sessions, access to all the amenities of this luxury ship including, pools, spas, Broadway caliber shows, Jack & Jill dance contests, dance hosts plus more. Do it right, reserve your cabin now. Don't be confused, this is the original hustle cruise that set sail and is now celebrating their 11th anniversary.
