Hoping your Christmas was pleasant, we anticipate the new year. Modesto lessons suspended until Jan. 9, there are opportunities out of town. Watch for changes in 2010. Patrick will start lessons Jan. 9 & 16. There will be a milonga at Jacobs Jan. 22, workshops with Polo Talnir & Diane Kaftan Jan. 23. Jan. 30 will be a practica after an introductory class for absolute beginners, all for the usual drop-in fee, $12 a lesson, $25 for the workshop, $5 for the milonga, $10 with the lesson before the milonga, $5 for the practica. But for $30, paid as the month starts, you can get both lessons and the practica, $10 off one workshop. We hope to do this each month.
