Peter worked on "connection" in both classes last Saturday. Connection with one's partner is a major element in Argentine Tango; we were treated to an excellent lesson on that.
There will be no classes on the next two Saturdays, December 27 and January 3,Holidays are upon us and most of us will do other things. We will see you
January 10. Sean & Charity will teach.
In January we add 15- minute practicas to the beginner class and start intermediates at 12:15. We will have another practica from 1:15 to 2 p.m.
In preparation for our weekend with Caroline & Christopher at the end of January, we have a video. It is in our on-line flier for our workshops with them
.

Wednesday, December 31 --At Tango by the River, 128 J Street, Old Sacramento. ANNUAL NEW YEAR'S EVE MILONGA! I can't imagine a better way to greet the new year than by dancing tango, sipping champagne,and enjoying the company of tango friends (kissing at midnight!) So mark your calendars for New Year's Eve, the last milonga of the year, replete with fireworks over Tower Bridge! The Old Sacramento New Year's Eve Sky Spectacular boasts two fireworks shows. The first will be launched at 9 p.m., with the second at midnight. In year's past, we have all moved outside at midnight to watch the fireworks. This year, we're going to stay inside and do the traditional countdown -- 3, 2, 1 ... kiss! If you want to see fireworks come early enough to catch the 9 p.m. show so at midnight we can stay indoors and have our own fireworks right here at TBTR! Introductory tango
lesson 8-9 p.m., dance from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. or so. Cost is $15 for lesson and dance. Both include hors d'oeuvres, refreshments (including champagne!).
