I hope everyone's thanksgiving was good  We return on Saturday, December 5  with Jean Pierre at the helm  with   a couple of lessons.  Jean Pierre will be offering us a touch of some of the more showy moves - Ganchos & Boleos", Lead and Follow. Studied from the Media-Vuelta , which he considers the easiest way to understand these moves. 

 

We meet again for  our Monday night practica  at the Clarion.  Starting  at 8:30 p.m., We are all encouraged to buy food or beverages from the bar as they would like to be able to count on $10 a person average. 

Let's all  make an effort to be there tonight at the  Shooters bar in the Clarion - 8:30 to 10 p.m.


Until later, Mary
