FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Press Release – 2010.08.02 – Salsa Glam (PDF)

New Brunswick, NJ (August 2, 2010) – As the Latin beats of Salsa music play in the background and beautiful Salsa dancers in three-inch strappy heels move to the rhythm of the Latin percussion, New Jersey Fashion designer Elena Vasilevsky is preparing to unveil her newest fashion collection to the public at “SALSA GLAM”, her fashion show at PERLÉ Nightclub on August 19, 2010. Salsa dancing, the newest sensation throughout the U.S. and the world, has inspired Ms. Vasilevsky (Elena V) to create a special line of clothing aimed to showcase female Salsa dancers.

Salsa dancing is an exploding sensation in cities all over the U.S. and around the world with thousands of female dancers looking for trendy outfits to express their passion for Salsa. “My designs express my soul and my passion for dancing. Fragile femininity, mixed with high voltage passion drives me to design collections that radiate sensuality mixed with confidence”, says Ms. Vasilevsky. It is no secret that Salsa has grown from an underground club dance to a fully-mature art form with professional dancers teaching and traveling around the world. But Ms. Vasilevsky aims to energize regular, everyday women with sensuality to help them realize their dazzling potential on the dance floor.

“Any garment will look good on a professional fashion model. My creations reveal personalities and allow women to refine their own unique beauty, highlighting individuality regardless of perfect proportions. My goal is to discover and celebrate the diversity and beauty of every woman through my designs”, expresses Ms. Vasilevsky. Her fashion show at PERLÉ Nightclub will feature New Jersey’s professional salsa dancers, instructors and performers as models of her “Rhythm Collection”, which is inspired from the energy of Salsa dancers, as well as legendary icons like Sophia Loren, Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe.

For this event, Ms. Vasilevsky has collaborated with Mr. Dany Joshua to host the fashion show at PERLÉ Nightclub. They have attracted some of the most talented dancers from New Jersey. Mr. Dany Joshua promotes Salsa dancing in New Brunswick, New Jersey, at PERLÉ Nightclub every Thursday night, “Salsa Thursdays at PERLÉ with Dany J” is the title of this regular event.

Ms. Vasilevsky, originally from the Ukraine, is a graduate from Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.
Mr. Dany Joshua is Salsa dance instructor, Salsa disc jockey and Salsa promoter dedicated to the promotion of Salsa music and Salsa dancing. Dany Joshua is a dance instructor at Rutgers University.

Our nation faces a crisis of epic proportions. Thousands of Salsa dancers roam the nightclubs and dance studios of America, feeding on whatever Salsa music they can scrounge from the DJ’s. All these poor Salsa lovers want is a safe home with a little dance space and some salsa music. Instead, they must resort to doing shines on their cubicles at work and fantasize about their next Salsa night. No Salsa-addict, no matter how sweaty, should have to do that.

You can help by taking one of these Salsa dancers into your home and playing some Salsa for them. Right now, we have lots of Salsa-hungry people at PERLÉ NIGHTCLUB on Thursday Nights. Some of these Salsa people are tall, others less tall. Most are good-looking, others better-looking. Some like to drink, others like to drink more. Some like bachata too, others like to hide in the Red Room to mix it up with the Latin Rock DJ’s. But whatever they look on the outside, they’ve all got so much to give: hours and hours of dancing. Plus, most come accesorized with dance shoes and funky outfits. Won’t you consider adopting a Salsa dancer or a Salsa drunk today?

Because if you don’t, we swear, we’re going to strip them of their Salsa dance shoes, chop them up (the shoes, not the Salsa people) and try plugging that oil well with their shredded shoe remains. We’ve got a problem. BP’s got a problem, it’s a natural solution.

Quite a few people have been asking important questions and volunteering feedback about the recent changes in the Salsa parties. Thank you to everyone that gave me their opinion. With this in mind, let me clarify and explain the differences between the two parties.

Salsa Thursdays @ Perlé Nightclub will feature Salsa Classics, and a some amount of Bachata, Merengue and other party genres. This party will have a little bit of everything, a little hard salsa, a little commercial salsa, lots of classics, some Bachata, Merengue etc etc. We might even try some “Rock En Español” at the end of the night. Perlé Nightclub is a large and trendy venue so it lends itself to be more flexible and all-inclusive party. And the music must reflect that.
http://www.scarletmambo.com/upcoming-events/Salsa-Thursdays/

“Hard Salsa Saturdays” is a party for Salsa dancers. This party will feature lots of Salsa, and lots of Hard Salsa especially. There will be a few other things mixed through the night but the ‘bread and butter’ of this party will be music for hard Salsa dancers. The “old 360″ is a more intimate and warmer place, so it has more potential for that hard sound that Salsa dancers adore.
http://www.HardSalsaSaturdays.com

In the end, each event and venue has a personality of its own. The Salsa music played at each venue must resonate with the natural acoustics of the place and personality of the crowd. For decades, New Brunswick has been home to a very organic music scene! In the last few years, we have been building a public that is becoming addicted to Salsa music, and this public is very demanding in its tastes. For that reason, we have two different kind of events and venues… and music.
