The pilgrims are back from Buenos Aires, where Gato & Andrea led a wonderful tour. We studied with the best, and danced most of the night. Gato & Andrea are well connected in Buenos Aires' tango world. Through them we met tango masters we hope to bring to Modesto soon. We surely recommend their trip to anyone who hasn't been to Buenos Aires. There will be another in November.
MILONGAS:
We resume classes Saturday. Hope to see everyone there after too long a break.
