Mayumi gave a wonderful lesson Saturday.  She has worked with the best in Buenos Aires, bringing  Argentine tango masters to California workshops. She has a great approach to transmitting what she has learned, using imagery to enhance the lesson.  We worked on embrace, weight changes and ultimately ocho cortado.  Pictured is Mayumi, right, working with us during her lesson. We will see her again on May 31.  Don't miss that date.













Until later, Mary

Modesto Tango is a non-profit association of tango aficionados dedicated to sharing artistic, cultural and social aspects of Argentine tango.
