On Friday, Mary 3, we will have another First Friday Milonga at Jacobs. No guest artists, no introductory lesson, just a chance to socialize, eat, drink, and of course, dance tango. 7:30 p.m until we're done.
On June 1 we move north to Studio V, Pilates & Fitness, 4345 Spyres Way, just off Bangs near McHenry, for Saturday classes. The studio is a bit smaller with mirrors on two angles, has its own parking lot and we will be able to have a practice session after the one-hour class. For now we continue as we have been. In June we will host Eva Garlez and Pablo Rodriguez of Buenos Aires. Stay tuned.
