Bulletin, Oct. 27, 2008

Carol Hom gave us a serious dose of technique, emphasizing posture and walk, suggesting practicing tango walk with shopping carts.  An excuse to revisit a wonderful Italian video:  http://www.arzanohumorciak.com/corti_2006/perdizione.html 
Next week/month Patrick will be our instructor.
Gato & Andrea's workshops were sparsely attended, but we who were there had a wonderful workout on milonga as well as basic tango
