Many have trouble finding Juline's School of Dance, 144 Woodrow - Tango classes are not in the main building but across the way - same parking lot at Studio E.
It was great to see Sean again. Next week Charity will pick up where he left off.
Thursday is our monthly art walk milonga (dance party) at Concetta's downtown.
Hope for a good turnout there.
The half hour absolute beginners class brought two new people who stayed for Sean's class. Again, if you know folks who might wonder if tango is for them, steer them to the studio at 10 a.m. Meanwhile we hope to see increased attendance; the future of tango in Modesto depends on that. We will be back at Jacobs tonight as well. Opportunities to dance this week are multiple.
