Kenny gave some nice figures to work on last Saturday.  This Week's Video  includes a short recap. We will continue to work on them this Saturday. 

The second week of May promises more tango than usual in Modesto.  Friday, May 9, will see a milonga at Jacobs, and on the next day Mayumi Fujio of the Bay Area will offer a couple of classes.  She has worked with some of the best in Buenos Aires and brings many Argentine tango masters to workshops in California. Don't miss this opportunity to meet and work with her. 


Until later, Mary
