Kenny & Choi  did a lot of work on back cohos, and we will continue to work on those this coming Saturday, which will be the last lesson for the year.  This Week's Video summarizes the lesson they presented.


Next year we have some exciting events early on. We have just engaged Andrea Monti for January 31 to conduct a couple of workshops, and we will have a second milonga for the month that evening. 


Andrea Monti   is an expert in follower's technique and well worth your time.  In late February we have Eva & Pablo back, practitioners of traditional milonguero style.  In March we have a return of the Redwood Tango Ensemble.    So much to look forward to - stay tuned.

Until later, Mary

Modesto Tango is a non-profit association of tango aficionados dedicated to sharing artistic, cultural and social aspects of Argentine tango.
