That  evening we car pool to a milonga in Sacramento - gather at 6:15 p.m. at the Starbucks by the Freeway. Experience the setting in which the skills learned are utilized. Information about the milonga is below. 
Meanwhile we are cancelling classes on Saturday, Oct. 30. Too many regulars will be  away. So enjoy your Halloween.

Coming to Sacramento for the first time!  Norberto 'El Pulpo' Esbrez
Sacramento: El Pulpo's US Tour Grand Finale!
Norberto's style is characterized by creativity and improvisation. Since the beginning of his career he showed his capacity to innovate, creating a very personal image. He is considered   "REY DE LOS GANCHO" (king of ganchos). Known as El Pulpo or 'octopus' for his fluid and intricate leg movements, he developed the concept of suspension as a tool to generate the control and fluidity that is part of his dance style. This vision of dance is hypnotic when he performs, always improvising. His dance and technique is based on the communication and understanding with his partner, and characterized by continuous, round, soft movements.
Check out El Pulpo on YouTube:
