HUSTLE DANCE CLUB NEWS

December 23, 1995

A SPECIAL NON HUSTLE NOTE:
I would like to tip my hat to THE TOP HAT CLUB. You might
ask what is the Top Hat Club? Well, it is a collection of
top professional dancers from the bay area who put on a
song and dance floor show at the Press Club, 555 Post St.
in San Francisco. One Saturday night of each month Jeff
Chandler directs these wonderful performers, to give you a
nostalgic look back to the 1930's and 40's night club
scene. Beautiful Rumbas, Waltz, Cha Cha, Tango, Fox Trot
and Caberet routines will give you hours of entertainment.
A light Buffet can be purchased, plus a bar for your
favorite refreshments and hours of general dancing. For a
change of pace, from your busy schedules, this is well
worth attending. For more information, please call
415-436-0433. Next performances are February 10th and April
20th, 8-midnight. $25.00 at door, $20.00 advanced, for
reservations: TOP HAT CLUB, 1388 Haight St Suite 209, S.F.,
CA 94117 (include phone number for confirmation)

ROAD TO LOS ANGELES:
     No! No! I'm not talking about a Bing Crosby, Bob Hope
movie. But I will talk about a trip to the L.A. area for
some hot dancing. We, Marc Mc Govern & Raul Ante, in the
company of, Debra Hampton, Dave Sarul, Donna Hyatt, Jodee
Adair, Beata Howe, Kevin Cruz, Linda Lees and "Miller" from
North Jersey had the pleasure of burning down several dance
floors! Saturday night, it was the Mayan. Hot Salsa but
when the Hustle sets came on the dancing was fast, furious
and fabulously FUN! Sunday night the Press Box. What can I
say about the D.J., Ceasar Ricaurte ( Mr. Hustle), his
music was extremely HOT, non-stop Hustle, occasionally a
night club two step, the dancing level was very High, the
dance crowd was hot and my feet hurt for a week. For any of
you traveling south, Sunday night, at The Press Box is a
must. Drop in and introduce yourself to Ceasar. You can't
miss him! On Monday evening Marc and I ran out of time and
could not attend the Jack And Jill Hustle contest at the
Abiquiu Restaurant in Santa Monica, sponsored by Beverly
Ball and Beata Howe but, we can give you the results: 1st
place, Melody Cochran-Bennett and Kevin Cruz, 2nd place,
Simi Sue Seal and Sonny Watson, 3rd place, Sylvie Le May
and Dirk Aubry, 4th Elma & Victor Eijkhout.

SACRAMENTO DANCE SCENE:
I would like to thank, Lisa Simonson and Nancy Jo Richards
from the Sacramento area, for their hospitality, during a
recent trip to the state capital. Several Hustle Dancers
from the bay area, Bobby Concepcion, Marc Mc Govern, Gary
Tom, Nestor Garcia and Raul Ante had the pleasure of Club
Hopping in Sacramento. Even though there are no Clubs that
cater to Hustle Dancers there are places to go and dance.
Malarky's, plays 70's music both, "Disco and Funk" with a
fairly good size dance floor, another dance club would be
FACES. Good hot music with a stainless steel dance floor.
Remember, these are night clubs and my not be suitable for
those of you who are use to a Ballroom type atmosphere.
But, if you are itching to dance give them a chance,
bring your own dance partner...

For those of you who have not been out, we have had several
guests visiting from out of state. Drew Axlerod and Randy
Atlas from Miami and Nestor Garcia from Manhatten, have
been checking out the Bay Area Hustle Scene.

Regards, Raul Ante
