We return to tango this week with some exciting developments.  We are resuming our weekly practicas thisTuesday, March 29 at 8 pm at Ralston's Goat, on 10th, corner with J Street.  The owner does want to point out, that the kitchen closes at 8 p.m., so if you want to eat, come before then.  Otherwise, we will dance till10 p.m.  These practices are a great way to go over class material in an informal and social way, so come early to eat, or just order a glass of wine or a coke, or cup of coffee and socialize while dancing

On another front, this coming Saturday we will continue working on some of the basics that Roman gave us last time, however, he, himself cannot be with us as he will be in Florida.  HOWEVER, on Saturday, April 9we will be hosting Eduardo Saucedo from Buenos Aires, who just finished working as a judge in the Tango USA competition.  He is a renown tango master, performer and choreographer, who many consider to be one of the best teachers ever, so save your money to experience one or both of his workshops.

 


Until later, Mary

These festivals are  a great place to shop for Tango shoes, even if you do not sign up for any part of the Festival.

We will meet again at  studio V on April 2, for another couple of classes with Roman Zapata. One of our original instructors in the early days of Modesto Tango, dubbed as " the elegant one", you do not want to miss the opportunity to work with him.
