We are back at the drawing boards for a practica venue. Our experience at the Clarion did not end on a positive note in a "left hand doesn't now what the right hand is doing" scenario, and we had to cut our time short there.  So, stay tuned as we pursue that a bit further.

Jean-Pierre Sighe  returns on Saturday with another session on musicality.  Bothsessions will be on Milonga this time.  His lesson goes to  the root of the HabaƱera rhythm that is the base for Tango and Milonga.  If you missed his first Saturdaywith us, you have another opportunity to work with him on this Saturday.
