Eduardo gave us all quite a work-out.  The first class worked on some basic useful moves, ending with a media vuelta.  The second class was a workout in Milonga rhythm. 

There is no class this coming Saturday, October 8, as we will be participating in the Valley  Wellness Expo  with information on the health benefits of Tango.  We may be doing some dancing as well as offering handouts about our group and the  health benefits of tango.  If any of you would like to get in to participate,  in either dancing or staffing our table, but were not able to let us know earlier, information is in the attached flyer.


Until later, Mary
