Bulletin, July 30, 2012

Much to look forward to in the next weeks. We worked on sacadas last Saturday, and expect to continue working on them this Saturday. We have another first Friday milonga on August 3.  
Here's a chance to socialize, dance and dine.
On  Saturday, August 11, Michelle Gorre of Sacramento will teach - at Jacobs instead of VBoogie's. Michelle has taught  in Sacramento for years, has an extensive dance background.

Friday, Sept. 14. - Tango Del Cielo at the  Gallo Center with a pre-show milonga.  Tickets $20-30 from http://tickets.galloarts.org/single/SelectSeating.aspx?p=2751

On Saturday, Sept. 29, Eduardo Saucedo, master teacher and dancer from Buenos Aires, will lead Modesto workshops. He is the go-to instructor for private lessons.  There will be two workshops and an evening milonga; save the date and your cash.
