Roman worked on forward ochos in our first class, which developed into molinetes with sacadas in our second class. returns on Saturday to conduct another couple of classes. 

There will be NO CLASSES this following week as both the Studio on Spyres and the Senior Center have other things going on during class hours.  Our only tango outlet in Modesto this week will be our weekly practica at Ralston's Goat.  Hope to see you all there.

Classes at the studio meet again on May 7 with Kenny at the helm
