Modesto Tango Bulletin, September 30, 2013.
The year moves fast; we are already at October. As Jacobs has a function on the first Friday this month, there will be no milonga, but Peter Baldridge of Sacramento will teach on Saturday as well as the third Saturday of October. A technician par-excellence, he will do two classes daily. The fee - $15 for one, $25 for both - will also cover the subsequent week's follow-up. On another note, our guest artist for September, Eduardo Saucedo, is producing a show to be performed in October.
Strongly suggest buying tickets ASAP
