Yep, I'm working on a new salsa dance website, for SalsaCrazy Salsa Mondays. The website is a home base for our Monday night salsa classes, and salsa club, and like most internet marketing projects, it made me focus on what my true goals are.

I want this site to speak to new salsa dancers, be fun, friendly, exciting, with bright colors, and some interactivity to it. I want it to have a video, a schedule, an ability to buy, and be generally very, very, simple – yet rank in the search engines, very, very well. So how do I do it?

Well, you'll see the SalsaCrazy Salsa Mondays website develop, but if you're interested in my secret weapon, keep an eye on my internet marketing blog, over at MarketingCrazy.

Ok, I've been asked to try and summarize all that's going on, and that is VERY hard. The Summer Bachata and Salsa Festivals are huge, and there is alot going on, but here's my best shot at summarizing most of what's going to happen.

The bottom line is, keep July 11-19th free, for the hottest salsa festival and bachata festival in San Francisco, they'll be things to do every night. Usually both, bachata and salsa dancing, and lots of live music.

Here's the breakdown so far, and there's more being added. There are A LOT of stars, salsa performers and salsa instructors coming in from all over the world. All our local celebrities and salsa dancers have been invited to participate (of course). Of special note, int he Bay Area, SalsaMania has confirmed (which is way cool). They are the consumate salsa professionals, and out of state, from New York, the stars, Magna Gopal (godess of spins), and Ismael Otero (no cool nickname) are flying in.

There are literally countless others! Actually, this is best broken up into several posts. One about teachers, one about performers, one about music, and one about the schedule. Since I get most questions about the salsa dance shedule, let me start with that (and bachata too, of course).

But first – this is IMPORTANT!

Remember, the full passes are the WAY TO GO. If you don't have yours, you are really WAY behind everyone else. They are still available, and we give away EVERYTHING to the people with the full passes. We treat them like gold! Make sure YOU are one of them. Get your FULL Festival Pass here: Salsa Festival Full Pass or Bachata Festival Full Pass.

NOTE: Either one gets you access to BOTH – The full pass is the way to go! That being said, we now have two day passes available too. The single day passes are expensive, but if you can only make it one day, we now have those too. There are NO night passes currently.

July 11th: Sunday -> The parties start on Sunday night in the East Bay. That's right, the 11th of July! There are scant details on this party yet, but it will be hosted by Salsa With Juan. Details soon (join the email list, or buy your pass today)

July 12th: Monday -> The Rockit Room, which has become the single most stellar club in the entire Bay Area hosts a Monday night pre-party you won't believe. This is an incredible night, and has become the most exciting salsa destination in the city. It's Monday night parties bring out 400+ people, nearly every Monday. It's an amazing site! You won't believe it …

Salsa Classes

San Francisco Bay Area Dance Classes with SalsaCrazy, every Monday night at the Rockit Room. This stellar club on 5th Avenue and Clement is known as a serious rock and roll destination, but every Monday night, it becomes the HEART of salsa dance in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Salsa Lessons start the evening at 7pm! See what some people have to say about the salsa lesson, and learn more about the salsa club here: Salsa San Francisco. The lessons are hot (and packed), and very fun, social, and basic. Designed so everyone can get up and start salsa dancing after their very first lesson!

After the beginning lesson, an intermediate salsa class at 8:30pm, following by salsa dancing all night long, who could have thought that Monday night in San Francisco would define the cities salsa scene? Four week progressive series of classes means you learn something new every month, and review each and every week! The salsa lessons are very popular!

At 9:30pm, the salsa dance night has become increasingly popular in the entire dance community, and now has taken upon a life of it's own. Much like the stellar "Canvas" Salsa Dance Parties, Monday night now serves to bring the community together, young and old, new and seasoned – it's the salsa dance place to be.

Oh yeh, and it's FREE for dancing (of course). Experience the best DJs in the San Francisco Bay Area, and a wealth of music from salsa to mambo, form romantica to salsa dura, from timba to cha cha cha to bachata. It's all here!
