Saturday's class was a good workout on posture and connection, tango basics. A visit to the farmer's market before class is a fun way to begin the weekend. Our NEW VENUE, Sophia's Dance Journey, 711 10th Street, behind the Gallo Center is a block from the farmer's market.
Instructor Sean Dockery will marry Oct. 2. He invited us to his celebration milonga at 8 p.m. that evening at Finnish Hall, 1970 Chestnut St, Berkeley. There will be a carpool, so let it be known if you wish to join.
Mark your calendars now for Wednesday, Jan. 12, when Tango Buenos Aires returns to the Gallo. It will follow a milonga in the beautiful lobby- We will get group tickets a little closer to the event. It should be a wonderful evening
