Modesto Tango Bulletin, August 8, 2016

Bob  taught a lesson on an in-depth walking technique. He then taught the enrosoque that Ed taught last month also with great success. Carol worked with a beginner student who did very well with the 8 count basic and technique.   On Saturday August 13th and Saturday August we are going to have the pleasure of Ed Loomis and Chooi Goh teaching us.  Ed, was for all practical purposes THE tango instructor and organizer in Sacramento.  There are those who will say that there is no one who knows more about Tango or has as many connections as Ed.  Chooi has organized one of the most popular milongas in Sacramento. She also competed in the USA Tango Festival and is a teacher in her own right. We have so lucky to host such accomplished instructors.     In the meantime we can get together to dance and practice  on Tuesday evening at Ralston's Goat, at the corner of 10th & J Street.  This may well be our only opportunity to get a Tango Fix in the rest of the week.  So Join us Tuesday to chat, dance, socialize and enjoy a glass of wine.
