Modesto Tango Bulletin, March 25, 2013
No class Saturday, Easter weekend. Last chance to make the festival at the S.F. Marriott Airport this weekend. The next weekend, April 6, we host Patrick Alessandri to teach a couple of classes. Formerly one of our regular instructors, "the energetic one" when we imported instructors, Patrick comes with a ballet background. He was one of the original tangueros when Sacramento's tango community was growing. Cost is $15 for one class, $25 for both.
The night before that, Friday, we will host our regular first Friday Milonga. All of this will take place at Jacobs Fine Dining.
