Earl Rush wil be teaching workshops at the Upcoming events
Introduction...
 |
| Earl Rush, a Washington, DC native, is founder and president of StuckOnSalsa, which offers salsa dance instruction and event promotion services.
One night in 1995 Earl realized that he was too old to still be going to Hip Hop clubs. The next day while walking down the street he saw a sign for free Salsa classes. He went into the club and never turned back. He instantly fell in love with Salsa. He loved the people, the environment, the dancing and the music. He also liked the fact that Salsa brought together people from diverse walks of life.
Four years after stumbling across the sign for free dance classes, he was asked by Eileen Torres to assist her in teaching Salsa. Eileen took him under her wing and Earl has been teaching every since. In 2004 Earl was honored at the 4th Annual Men in Salsa Tribute for his contributions to the Salsa community.
Earl Rush founded the StuckOnSalsa website in the summer of 2003. His original goal was to have a place where everyone could get information about the parties he and partner Kelvin Harris were giving. But the website became something else altogether. Now StuckOnSalsa is the place where everyone goes to get the 411 on salsa happenings in the Washington DC area, as well as other cities.

Event Promotion...

Tired of going up the I-95 corridor to New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia to party on the weekends, Earl and his partner Kelvin Harris decided that they were going to make something happen in the DC area to avoid the constant travel and expense.
Their first venture at Maxim's in June 2003 lasted a whole four weeks. Realizing that weekly events can quick get old, they decided to experiment with a once a month themed party. With that in mind, they launched their first monthly Salsa party in January 2004 titled "A One Night Affair." Despite a wind-chill factor of minus five degrees this Salsa party was an instant hit attracting 300 people the first night.
Today StuckOnSalsa hosts some of the top Major Dc Salsa events every year including the Resolution Jam , The StuckOnSalsa and ClaveKazi Spring Fever Jam . The StuckonSalsa Red Carpet Stuckie Awards honoring saleros in the community and All White Party , The StickOnSalsa Balck and Red Party , The StuckOnnSalsa International All Star Salsa cruise , and the StuckOnsalsa All Star Salsa amnd Bachata Weekend in Mexico

HONORED FOR HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DC SALSA COMMUNITY AT THE 4 TH ANNUAL MEN IN SALSA TRIBUTE
The 2004 Tribute to Men In Salsa was a great success. This was the third time that this event has been held, and Eileen Torres once again demonstrated her excellence in putting together a great show. Representatives from each dance group participated in a choreographed opening number that had an Afro-Caribbean flavor. All the groups represented themselves well and got the evening off to a great start. After the opening number, Eileen got down to business and presented each of the honorees for the evening with a plaque and gift to thank them for their contributions to the salsa community, both in DC and worldwide. The 2004 honorees are:

He founded Trabuco Dance Company in 2003 and has groomed his dancers into a top team.
