Her name was Roberta and that's all she said . He did not ask her for her full name because the way she could dance her last name was the last thing on Juan Carlos' mind. She was a wheeler and a dealer just like Juan Carlos and had her own successful advertising business and always since graduating from Howard she was caller of her own shots. She had met Juan Carlos a week ago at Club Whatever a salsa club in DC while there for the DC Salsa Congress. She left the hotel because she said it was too hot in there too many people were dancing and having a great time but the air conditioner was not at full blast. and for one of the few times of her life she had to get out of the kitchen because she could not take the heat.
So she went over to Club Whatever for what every one goes there for and that is for some "Whatever"
She met Juan Carlos and they danced the night a way , and unfortunately for the club owner they had plenty of room to dance since every one was at the Congress. She danced equally well on 1 and on2 A great beginning his kind of lady. . Next thing she knows she is accepting his invitation to come and hang out in Washington for a week to show her how we do it here in DC.

The Myth that "Salseros Dont Drink". Club Owners, GET A CLUE: Salseros DRINK more than Club Owners THINK!!
Read article below...
We DRINK more fluids than most alcoholics!! Provide Coffees, Lattes, Sparkling Water, Juices, Sports Drinks, Teas, and charge for water...
By Edie, The Salsa FREAK!!
I was at a Salsa Congress in [country]. They had a juice and smoothie bar with healthy freshly-made fruit drinks that was literally PACKED OUT EVERY night. That Juice bar made more money THAN THE EVENT ITSELF. IN THE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS...
$$$ Money Money Money... yes, Salseros will SPEND THE MONEY if it's HEALTHY.
World Famous Club Mayan opened up an Espresso Bar... and MAKES MONEY NO MATTER WHAT.
Attention Club Owners. You have to THINK ABOUT what type of clientel you are attracting
... and CATER TO THEM.
Salseros don't often drink that much alcohol. We feel our "high" from the music, and doing all those fancy dips, tricks, and turns... we can't AFFORD to screw up if we drink.
To make money, and keep your Salsa Club open, you have GOT to charge people a minimum for coming in, be very strict with your guest lists, and provide us with drinks we enjoy - don't just limit us to alcohol. You will be surprised to see the number of serious athletes that frequent the Salsa dance floor. Marathon runners, gymnasts, stuntmen, martial artists, bodybuilders... all of them watch their health like a hawk. Drinking alcohol is not part of their makeup, but exercise is. Dancing to them is another form of exercise. If this is the case, provide them with the fluids they need such as Sports drinks, juices, and coffees.
Salseros can't AFFORD to screw up or fall on the dance floor if they drink. To some dancers, Salsa/Mambo is not only a spiritual and physical renewal, but it's also an art form, and to others, a form of exercise or contact sport. Whatever the case, they may not want to mix health, art, sports, or exercise with alcohol, but when that's all there is available, no wonder they don't buy anything but water at the bar.
There have been countless times when I show up at a club a little tired from the day, and need an extra "caffeine" kick to start off the night. About 50% of the time, the bar doesn't serve coffee. Once I dished out $3 for a coffee, very willingly because it tasted great, got me going, and with a $2 bottle of water, quenched my thirst! Plus, I was able to stay awake for the long drive back to my house!
Many of us are "athletes" out on the Salsa dance floor, and nutritional and stimulating caffeinated drinks are what we'd prefer if we don't drink alcohol, so provide it for us!
