tango aficionados dedicated to sharing the
artistic, cultural and social aspects of
Argentine Tango in Stanislaus County.
Tango classes resume Saturday, Sept 9. There
will be three Saturdays in September before our
weekend with Gato & Andrea. Those wishing to
commit to all three weeks may pay in advance at
$10 a week ($30 for the month, Sept. 9, 16 & 23)
Roman returns with his emphasis on technique and
elegance. Again, intermediates are encouraged
to consider private lessons. Patterns Roman will
teach require understanding and technique. He
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.
