Does anyone know of a place to go salsa dancing in Lansing?

With the unusually warm weather today I hope everyone stays hydrated at the YA Salsa Social.

Hello everyone,

Now that the calendar has almost turned to May, can we say that through 1/3 of the year that 2008 is going to be the best year of Salsa the state of Michigan has ever seen?

In my internet travels I came across a post which gave some pretty good background and history of Mambo.

Whew!!! We've barely started the 3rd month of 2008 and already there has an extraordinary amount of activity this year!

- New Latin nights popping up all the time
- Salsa Socials seemingly every weekend.
- Incredible live music is a weekly event
- Salsa Recognition awards night (and of course Nellie's birthday!)
- The fabulous Gilberto Santa Rosa made a visit and wowed Detroit on February 19th.
- We've already had a Jack and Jill contest that had Salsa dancing as one of the required dances
- Salsa house parties!
- DETROIT DANCERS INVADED AND RULED THE CHICAGO SALSA CONGRESS!!!
- Detroit to be listed on SalsaPower.com as a Salsa city

These are fantastic happenings already this year. If I've forgotten anything else, please post it..
