What's New

Monday

Bulletin, Oct. 6, 2008

     Saturday Sean worked on sacadas and barridas.  He had car trouble en route from Berkeley so he barely made it for the intermediates. (I did the beginners.)  He will be back next Saturday with Charity and ... in time for beginners as well.
 
     Oct. 26 will bring Gato &Andrea workshops - one on tango, one on milonga. Many of us find milonga the most fun, so this is a chance to refine our technique.
