Modesto Tango Bulletin, July 6, 2015

Hope your 4th of July break was enjoyable.  We meet again on Saturday July 11 with Jean-Pierre Sighe  at the helm. The focus of JeanPierre will be musicality.  He is a musician by training, so the first class, at 11 a.m. will be on  musicality for Tango, and the second class at 12:30 will be musicality with milonga at a more  intermediate level.  He then returns on July 25 and does both sessions on Milonga.  He wants to take people to the root of the Habañera rhythm that is the base for Tango and Milonga, to better understand what the traspie is.  He feels the emotional connection to the rhythm is very important.

 

In other news, we will resume a Monday practica, beginning July 13 at the Shooter's bar at the Clarion Hotel on Sisk Rd, from 7 to 9. 

We would like a turnout that convinces the Clarion that letting us use their facility is worth the trouble, so mark your calendars.


Until later, Mary
