Saturday, October 22 we welcome Bay Area Tanguero Count Glover, one of the earliest tango dancers in the San Francisco Bay Area.   Count Glover , Co-Founder, of Studio 1924 in downtown Oakland, CA, has studied with some of the world's most renowned tango maestros. He is a well rounded, versatile dancer and performer,   and is adept at all forms of tango from all time periods and considered one of the best dancers of Argentine Tango in San Francisco.  The first lesson will be at 11 am for all levels, beginners particularly encouraged.  The second class at 12:30 pm is at a more intermediate level.  Fee for the class is $15 for one class, $25 for both.



On a sad note,  Ralston's Goat has decided to part ways with Modesto Tango, so we will start meeting at Urbano for our weekly practicas on Nov. 15.


Until later, Mary
