    Deep appreciation from my heart to you for attending the first SALSA FLING Social at Aviator Sports! Without your attendance and contributing, Saturday night's event would not be as successful as it had been! I sincerely hope that this is only the beginning of a fun dance social for many years to come with your continued support.

    Many, many thanks to all dance teams for showing their best! Not only did each team wow and dazzle the crowd, together you brought down the house!!! We were ONE on Saturday! No envy, no jealousy, no discrimination, just showing LOVE for the sake of Salsa dance! And of course, big hug and kisses to DJ Babaloo for his awesome music and MC for the performance. Thank you!

    Riis Jacob National Park is just across the bridge in the Far Rockways. If weather is nice on Saturday, spend some time at Fort Tilden, play a 9-hole golf game, or simply relax at the beach, then head back over to Avaitor Sports for an early cocktail b/4 dance lesson and party starts at 7pm. It's worth a whole day out!
