Modesto Tango Bulletin, Dec. 29, 2014

Happy New Year all.  We resume tango on Saturday, January 3, with a lesson  at Studio V, and a milonga that evening.  (NOTE) this is the milonga originally scheduled for Friday.  It will be on Saturday instead.   ​   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.
