Modesto Tango Bulletin, Dec. 8, 2014

We spent last Saturday working on oho cortado, which some call "oho milonguero" as it is so used in milongas, speaking of which, we will open up the New Year with a first Friday milonga at Jacobs.  In the meantime, Kenny & Choi  return  December 13  Next year we have some exciting events early on.  In late February we have Eva & Pablo back, practitioners of traditional milonguero style.  In March we have a return of the Redwood Tango Ensemble, and we are currently working on getting Andrea Monti to Modesto to do some workshops.  She is an expert in follower's technique and well worth your time.   So much to look forward to - stay tuned.
