Observing the beginning of Summer, and Memorial Day, we took a break on the weekend, however Chooi returns to us on Saturday, June 3 to finish out her curriculum. Her classes will begin at 11 a.m. with work that is suitable for all levels, and be followed by a class at 12:30 at a continuation level. We would hope to see some of the people from the Kiwanis breakfast was a lost of fun who had expressed an interest in pursuing tango themselves. The cost of the classes is $15 for one and $25 for both. Chooi Got of Sacramento conducts what is perhaps the most popular milonga in Sacramento, and has been going up to Sonora to teach there as well She has become the Sonora sweetheart. Come to her class and find out why.
Until later, Mary
