tango aficionados dedicated to sharing the
artistic, cultural and social aspects of
Argentine Tango in Stanislaus County.
A group of us went to Fresno and had a good time
at the Fresno Milongaa last Friday. We hope to
see many Fresno tangueros at our upcoming weekend
with Gato & Andrea.
No tango classes Saturday, Sept 2, Labor Day
Weekend. Roman returns on Sept. 9. Again,
intermediates are encouraged to consider
private lessons. The patterns Roman will soon
teach require understanding and technique. Roman
finds it difficult to move us into a higher level
with eloquence. His private lesson fee is $70;
he pays the studio fee if you use Ruby's
studio. He is available Saturday from 8:30 or
after class, and is willing to stay late on
Saturday.
We're revving up for our weekend with Gato &
Andrea. Mark your calendars for Sept. 30 - Oct.
1, the milonga on Saturday, Sept. 30. Private
lessons will be available Friday through Monday.
See below for details. If interested in the
additional 4 Tuesday sessions, contact me via
