Kenny worked on "molinetes"  and "saccades" at the more advanced level, giving us a lot of material to practice.


We take a break for the Memorial Day Weekend, and return on June 4 when we work on the material that Kenny gave us.


In June, tanguero Diego Lanau, newly arrived from Buenos Aires,  will be returning to Modesto to conduct  a couple of classes.  It is always such an honor to have Argentine Tango masters come to conduct workshops, so mark your calendars for June 25.


Until later, Mary
