Happy December. Our year is near an end. I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was good even without classes last Saturday. Local tangueros traveled to the Bay Area and Sacramento to satisfy needs for a tango fix.
We resume classes December 6 starting with Roman Tabayoyon, one of our first instructors. It has been a while since we saw him, so it will be fun to have him and his elegant styling again if only for a week. He will also be available for private lessons and encourages them. (916) 425-2395 or e-mail zapata@surewest.net.
The first Saturday of the month is an opportunity to pay for classes in advance, $10 a class - $30 for the three-week month. December teachers will be Roman, Carol Hom & Peter, each for one week, giving all a chance to experience their styles.
In January we will add 15- minute practicas to the beginner class and start the intermediates at 12:15. Then we will have another practica from 1:15 to 2 p.m.
