Oscar & Georgina put on an awesome performance at Jacobs Friday. The next day's workshops were indeed workouts. Those who missed both are indeed losers - Excellent teachers and technicians, they can spot little problems immediately. Oscar will be available for workshops in Sacramento. Schedule for that follows.
4:45-6:15 p.m. -- Milonga Lisa and Traspie (All levels)
@>---- 1st Saturday - June 7, 2008
@>---- 3rd Saturday June 21, 2008 FIREHOUSE 5 MILONGA!
Peter's classes start Saturday. Watching us dance at the milonga and in workshops, Oscar offered ideas on what to cover in class, just the input Peter had asked. So for the next few weeks we will continue work Oscar started last weekend.
For a little TV exposure, we are invited to the Channel 31 morning show with Alan Sanchez next Monday (June 9) at 7 a.m. The venue will be either Jacobs or the YMCA across the street. School should be out and this could be a fun way to start the morning - come dressed to dance, thought not as fancy as for a dressy milonga.
