Next Saturday is Labor Day Weekend, so class is cancelled. When we return onSeptember 9, we will continue to work on material that Christopher gave us. In the meantime, get your tango fix at our practica at Urbanos. 

 

On September 23 we welcome Marcelo Molina, from Cordoba Argentina and two time Stage Tango champion in the Argentine Tango USA championship, the US branch of the Tango World Cup held every August in Buenos Aires. He has been traveling all over the US performing and conducting workshops, and will be dancing with the Bay Area group Tango Del Cielo at a fundraising event at the Seasons on McHenry, on Friday, September 22. Eat tapas, drink wine, and we have a chance to dance socially at this event as well as watch their performance all for the price of a ticket.  

The next morning, Saturday, September 23, Marcelo leads a couple of workshops. A great opportunity to work with a Tango Master - don't miss out.  

 

 

Until later, Mary
