Modesto Tango Bulletin, December 20, 2010

I am back from my cruise.  I had an opportunity to tango in Miami Beach and Los Angeles (Sherman Oaks), but not during the cruise itself.  Many thanks to Dennis and Laura who covered for me while I was listening to Christmas music with a Salsa beat.  We have ended our lessons for the year; they will not resume until January.  Have a Merry Christmas.

We would like more Argentine tango opportunities in Modesto. If we can find a good dance floor at a reasonable price, say $5 per person. what days and times would be best for you? Are you willing to pay a monthly subscription to ensure a no-cost opportunity to dance at least one day a week? What makes you want to dance? What keeps you away? Please click reply and share your thoughts. We will summarize the results in a future bulletin.

Our next milonga will be Wednesday, Jan. 12, as Tango Buenos Aires returns to the Gallo Center with a pre-show milonga in the lobby. We will sell $25 group tickets along the front rows of the "partere" section.  I am about to buy the tickets, which will either be delivered on site at the Gallo, or earlier, should I see you first. The group price is $22.50 each.  For tickets e-mail: mary.menz@sbcglobal .net

Modesto Tango Bulletin, Nov. 15, 2010

Roman gave beginners and intermediates another lesson, working the eight count basic into other possibilities.  Peter will teach next week, Roman the first half of December.

Our next milonga will be Wednesday, Jan. 12, as Tango Buenos Aires returns  to the Gallo Center with a pre-show milonga in the lobby.  We will sell group tickets when we pick a price range.  Feedback is appreciated. If interested in group tickets, let me know.

MONDAY - Tonight, Nov. 15 & 22.  Social dancing and practica at Jacobs Fine Dining, 2501 McHenry.  No fee, but you could order food or drink off the menu.  The planned MTV filming  of a MADE episode,  following a young woman who wants to be a Latin dancer, has been postponed to Nov. 29 or Dec. 6.   MADE, a reality/documentary style series, is in its 11th season. A student has a goal/dream, gets a coach and trains.   MTV wants to bring her to Monday tango night at Jacobs and film her visit. They use one small hand held camera without wires or set up lights. They require signing a release to appear on camera. MTV will shoot around the camera-shy. It could be a fun evening in a good place to practice class material.
