Second Post National 25

Hi everyone! Mi  name is Angie and this podcast is about the best places to dance tropical music and salsa in Chicago!!!

In my first podcast I said that in the second one I'll talk about my experience with tropical music in Chicago. Remember? Ok, here we're and this is the post about National 25.

This place is located in 325 W Huron street in Chicago, Illinois, really close to the Chicago, Brown line station. It is opened Tuesday - Saturday from 5 pm to 2 am. This place has something that I think are interesting as: food, I never had eat there but the reviews are good. They have a good menu included Ceviche and Empandas that are always presents in Latin Cuisine. So this is a good point because you can have a dinner before the party. Also, the place is good for date someone or you can go with friends too and have fun.

The second point that I think is good is this place is that they have dance lessons on Thursdays. Yeap! Dance lesson for free!. Is one hour of dance lessons before start the party ONLY on Thursdays. So if you feel that you need more practice, don't worry there you can have some lesson the whole night to practice what you learned. Also you can find a lot of people there who is good dancing. So you can get more experience if you dance with someone who has this in their blood. Yes is just like I'm talking, because we start to dance since we were 5 maybe.... so is easy when you have 20 years of experience. Even you can tech how to dance or a new style. Because, even when normally Latin people love to dance, each country has a different style.

About the music.... when I was there, it was good music to dance, they have a DJ, so He mix Latin music with different sounds and is great mix to dance. I like the music because, DJ include music from different Latin countries, sometimes he mix this with a little bit of american music which is fine, then you can explore different styles. I'm pretty sure that if you go there you'll find people from different countries so it doesn't matter how you do it. Just enjoy the music, do wherever you feel and have fun.

Usually women don't need to paid cover, but men needs to paid 10 dollars cover. People there is great and the problem is that the space to dance is too small in my opinion, then you don't have enough space to dance comfortably. 

The only thing that I don't like is this place is close to early. At 2 am you're like in the middle of the party and you have lo leave. That was like I felt when I was there. 

Any way I hope this post help you, I hope you stay with me and don't miss the next podcast about where have you can found a good place to dance tropical music. Have a wonderful day! Good bye.

PODCAST

Hi everyone my name is Angie, I'm from Colombia and I moved to Chicago in September 2012. I know how hard is been in a cold city by yourself... You know guys Winter is boring, you spend too much time at home specially in the bed or couch..... So I said: I can create a new podcast about the best places to do dance tropical and Latin Music in Chicago. Why not create a post about this topic?

Ok guys the name of my podcast is DANCING SALSA & MORE IN CHICAGO. 

Well I said already that I'm from Colombia so, you can imagine that I love to dance. This is my favorite activity and I know that if  you're listening this post is because you like too.

Then I'll talk a little bit about why I decided to created this New post. Many students or people who move to a different country, especially with different culture know how hard is find your food, your music or things that you used to do when you were at home. well, even when the first couple months you feel so excited about the new things, you want to try the new "world", you want to see new people, food, music habits etc...

You wake up one day and you feel like that you need something, you need to listen that music that makes you feel alive, that music that make you move your hips and shoulders unwittingly. when this is happening you think: I need to dance my music, yes our tropical, Latin and Caribbean music. If your are from Latin america you know what I mean. Because we've this in our blood.

Then after a couples months in Chicago, I start to look where I can go to dance with good environment, I mean dance and have a good time, may eat some traditional food as empanadas or arepas. I could say that almost all Latin people feel this when they move to a different country out of Latin America. Why I said this? because my Latin  friends here think the same way.

Well after  listened my friends' experiences and my own I decided: I'm going to make a new podcast about this topic. This way, new people in Chicago or even visitors can get information about where they can go and have a good time. I know some people could said: I can found information in internet!!! I know, but the point here is; I will talk about places where I have been and I've work in this kind of places so for sure I know what I'm talking about because I have been dancing salsa and Cuban music for more than 7 years. I'm not gonna said how old I am but I have experience in this topic.

So you will hear about, places, opinions, prices, reviews, and more. Also you can comment about the place of the week on my blog about your own experience there. So you can join this post. This is important because may you have a different opinion or experience. So wherever you want to said you can do it in y blog and I will comment about your opinion on my next post.

Then I hope you had like this podcast and stay with me. Next week I gonna talk about National 25. This is the first place where i went to dance salsa in Chicago. Thanks for listen this podcast. Remember my name is Angie, stay warm and don't miss my second podcast about National 25.
