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.

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.
