Modesto Tango Bulletin, July 31, 2017 - Correction

Ed Loomis had us working on milonga rhythms, making the class a lot of fun. Come to our Tuesdaypractica and take advantage of the chance to practice this fun dance Next Saturday we welcome Carolyn and Christopher who will be guest teaching. Caroline and Christopher have been dancing and teaching tango for over thirty years with a focus on close embrace milonguero style, more appropriate for the social dance floor than exhibition. Christopher and Caroline have the incisive ability to analyze movement and help improve a student's technique on even the most subtle levels and are invited to teach at festivals all over the U.S. and abroad. Christopher frequently DJs at the popular El Valenciano Milonga.

Leaders and couples can usually procrastinate a bit on registration.

Door at 7:00 pm, Concert at &:30 Blue Tango Project:   Hailing from the colorful and gritty La Boca district of Buenos Aires, Blue Tango Project is a groundbreaking exploration of the emotional and musical crossroads where tango and the blues embrace. It is a collaboration between Argentine Latin Grammy nominee Maria Volonte and California harmonica player Kevin Carrel Footer, This globe -trotting duo celebrate the deep spiritual bond that joins tango and the blues, two musical genres born in desire and marginality, many times censored yet always resurgent and speaking directly to our hungry souls. When they play together, Maria's voice and guitar fill the stage with echoes of tango's forbidden pleasures, while Kevins harmonica whines with the lament of the solitary blues soul.
