Modesto Tango Bulletin, March 16, 2015

Polo took us through several walking rhythms and a step that can be useful in vals as well as milonga.  They finished their lesson with an Argentine waltz making use of the moves covered in class.   See a summary in This Weeks Video.  Next Saturday, March 21 we continue to work on walking to the rhythm, and then Polo returns on Saturday, March 28.  Tonight our Monday night practica is held at Urbano on H Street, behind the Gallo Center.    As the floor is concrete, however, we recommend  avoid using suede bottom dance shoes, leather is best.  Until later, Mary Our website: http://sites.google.com/site/modestotango/ Our email mailto:ModestoTango@gmail.com Keep track with our on-line calendar  http://sites.google.com/site/modestotango/home/argentinetangoacti Modesto Tango is a non-profit association of tango aficionados dedicated to sharing artistic, cultural and social aspects of Argentine tango.  To unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/Modesto-Tango/subscribe   CALENDAR FOR THE WEEK MONDAY: Tonight:  March16  & 23 we meet at Urbanos, 1016 H Street, behind Gallo Center for the Arts for our weekly practica.
