SATURDAY
Happy 2015 all. We resumed tango in Modesto on Saturday, ending up with a very enjoyable milonga - and so, happy dancing to us all in 2015.
This 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.
