Chicago Salsa Festival Review by Mambo Marci

I went to the Chicago Salsa Festival this past weekend, and thought you Detroit salseros might be curious what it was like... it was AWESOME! Unlike the February Congress, there were HUNDREDS of people as opposed to THOUSANDS. Because of this, one could actually see and hear the instructors; the performances were more intimate; the social dance floor, although full to capacity, was not so full as to induce injuries... basically, it was a wonderful experience.

Chicago

I'm going to Chicago to visit my sister this weekend. Does anyone know of any good places to dance Friday and Saturday? My sister has no experience so I need there to be some type of lesson. She lives on in Roscoe Villiage, so I'd like a place near there, but we can always take a cab.

Thanks!
