Classes will resume on the Saturday after Labor Day, Sept. 11, at a NEW VENUE, Sophia's Dance Journey, 711 10th Street, the block behind the Gallo Center. You can do the farmers market before or after class. We open a new year with Peter's six-week series meant to get beginners up and running, culminating with a car pool to a milonga or practilonga in Sacramento or the Bay Area.
