Introduction...

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 business  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.
