Sean & Charity's classes focused on cross system - going in and out, both partners on the same foot. This is unique to tango, so it is good to keep reviewing. Saturday Charity will be with us; Sean will be out of state. She is just back from Buenos Aires, performing with Tango Confusion, an all-woman group that has been performing in the Bay Area.
Our weekend with Carolint & Christopher is near - milonga flier follows. Charity gave a strong plug for the classes as Caroline mentored her. Christopher will be D.J. and do the introductory lesson and dance demonstration at the milonga,. - Definitely worth looking forward to.

Jorge Torres joined "Forever Tango" in 1995 and has been Troupe Dance Captain & Principal Dancer for the last eight years.
