We had our last summer practica at our new location, Juline's School of Dance, 144 Woodrow -and will try to do one every month, We break for Labor Day Weekend, resume regular classes at 11 a.m. starting with Sean on September 12. There will also be a half hour class for absolute beginners at 10:15 for $5. If you know folks who might wonder if tango is for them, steer them to the studio at 10 a.m. We hope to see increased attendance: the very future of tango in Modesto depends on that.
