It was nice to have Roman instructing last Saturday - a good dose of basic posture and moves. Carol Hom joins us this Saturday. Long a pal of Nora Dinzelbacher, she brings good moves that serve as foundation to any tango.
In January we 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.
