Modesto Tango Bulletin, Aug 18, 2014

There is much excitement in the Modesto tango world right now.  We have been looking forward to bringing live tango music to Modesto, a first, in October. Now we can also announce that on September 20 we will be welcoming back Eduardo Saucedo, tango master from Buenos Aires.  He will be conducting a couple of workshops and host our milonga that evening at Jacobs.  Stay tuned for more information, but for now, mark your calendars.  You can get a feel for him in this Video of the WeeK he produced - enjoy!   We had many new people last Saturday, so we pretty much dedicated the whole hour to basics. Next Saturday, Peter Baldridge comes from Sacramento to conduct a couple of classes.  The first class, starting at 11 a.m. will focus on basic technique issues,  for all levels, and beginners are encouraged.  The second class, at 12:30, will be at a more intermediate level. Peter is a very precise technician and comes to us with a wealth of information about tango and it's history.  The cost of the class is $15 for one class, and $25 for both.
