Happy Winter Solstice. While Modesto classes are suspended for two weeks, there are opportunities out of town for lessons. Sean and Charity ended the year with work on milonguero style. We will return from a two-week hiatus with changes on the horizon for 2010. Patrick will start the year with Jan. 9 & 16 lessons, a milonga at Jacobs Jan, 22, workshops with Polo Talnir & Diane Kaftan Jan. 23. Jan. 30 will be a practica after an introductory class for absolute beginners, all available for the usual drop-in fee, $12 a lesson, $25 for the workshop, $5 for the milonga, $10 with the lesson before the milonga, $5 for the practica. But for a $30 subscription fee, paid as the month starts, you can get both lessons and the practica, and $10 off one of the workshops. We hope we can replicate this formula every month.
