Modesto Tango Bulletin, March 9, 2015

We did some more work focussing on milonga rhythms.  Next Saturday, March 14, Polo & Diana return with a focus on dancing to the different rhythms in tango, using a simple pattern and applying it to each type of rhythm, including milonga and vals (waltz) in the second class.     Tonight our Monday night practica is held at Urbano on H Street, behind the Gallo Center.  We met there last Monday for the  first time, and found a friendly and encouraging atmosphere.  As the floor is concrete, however, we recommend you avoid using suede bottom dance shoes.  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:  March 9  & 16 we meet at Urbanos, 1016 H Street, behind Gallo Center for the Arts for our weekly practica.
