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, Studio E.
THURSDAY
We will see Sean & Charity on Saturday. In the meantime, the 10:00 a.m. absolute beginner class brought more new people who stayed for the 11 a.m. class.
We hope to see increased attendance; the future of Modesto tango depends on that. We will be back at Jacobs tonight.
