Modesto Tango Bulletin, Feb. 17, 2014

Michelle’s class was heavy on technique drills and work on connection - the base of tango.  No class next Saturday, the studio in use for  fitness teacher training.   We return Saturday, March 1. for workshops with the champions, one at 2 p.m., the other at 3:30 at Jacobs, rather than the studio. Marcelo Molina & Carolina Vasquez, Argentine Tango USA stage champions for 2011 and 2013, will conduct two workshops in the afternoon and perform at a milonga that evening. The cost of those classes will be $25 for one, and $40 for both. Wednesday class is moved from 2:30 to 2:45 p.m.  The extra 15 minutes will give a pre-class film time to finish.  The classes will still be an hour long.  Until later, Mary Our website: http://sites.google.com/site/modestotango/ Our email mailto:ModestoTango@gmail.com Keep track with our on-line calendar  http://sites.google.com/site/modestotango/home/argentinetangoacti Modesto Tango is a non-profit association of tango aficionados dedicated to sharing artistic, cultural and social aspects of Argentine tango.  To unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/Modesto-Tango/subscribe   CALENDAR FOR THE WEEK MONDAY - Tonight, Feb. 17  & 24 -  Social dance and practica resumes  at Jacobs’ Fine Dining. 2501 McHenry.  No fee, but you are encouraged to order food or drink from the menu.  Some come early to dine.   WEDNESDAY -  Feb. 19: Classes at senior center,  211 Bodem.   2:45 p.m. - Beginning basics.  (Note time change from 2:30 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.) Free.   SATURDAY -  Feb . 22 - Classes cancelled.  Normally  at Studio V Fitness & Pilates,  4345 Spyres, just off Bangs near McHenry.     MILONGA Saturday, Mar. 1: Marcelo and Carolina are guest milonga artists at Jacobs Fine Dining, 2501 McHenry Ave, 8-11 p.m.  Tango in a social setting with music arranged in Tandas as in Buenos Aires.  Food and drink available from Jacobs menu. $10 entry to the milonga includes the introductory lesson.    COMING UP!
