Modesto Tango Bulletin, March 4, 2013

Saturday with Marcelo Molina& Carolina Vazquez was fun, instructive and inspiring  Marcelo and Carolina enjoyed time with us as we enjoyed them.  Coincidentally, he did some work  on "cross system" we had just worked on; we will stay with it a bit longer to re-enforce it. 
Marcelo likes to get pictures of the students after his class.  Here he and Carolina are  in front with the rest of us surrounding him.
We resume lessons at VBoogie's Dance Journey this coming Saturday.
