Modesto Tango Bulletin, Feb. 26, 2018

Marcelo Molina drilled the first class on approaches to a rock step, useful moves for the dance floor, as well as basic concepts for posture and walking. Our video of the week reviews the rock steps covered. In the second class he covered dance timing for the vals rhythms - a topic not often covered in classes by the masters. He is wiling to return to us at a time when he can also fit in some private lesson, as a number of people asked him about that. He always likes to get a group picture after a workshop: Until later, Mary Our website: http://ModestoTango.com Our email mailto:ModestoTango@gmail.com Keep track with our on-line calendar  http://sites.google.com/site/modestotango/home/argentinetangoacti Modesto Tango is a non-profit association of tango aficionados dedicated to sharing artistic, cultural and social aspects of Argentine tango.  To unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/Modesto-Tango/subscribe   CALENDAR FOR THE WEEK   TUESDAY: Feb. 27 & March 6.  PRACTICA AT URBANOS  Dancing from 7 to 9 p.m., Come early to eat.  1016 H St, Modesto, CA 95354.

Marcelo’s first class wrapup

Modesto Tango Bulletin, Feb. 18, 2018

We have Marcelo Molina returning to us on Feb. 24 to do a couple of workshops. He was well received last time he was here, and he so enjoyed our group that he wants to come back. So hope to see you all on Saturday. He will teach an all level workshop at 11 am, and one at a more intermediate level at 12:30. The focus of the second class will be VALS (Argentine Waltz) - always fun to dance to, but seldom covered in class, so this is a rare opportunity. Cost of one class $25, both classes $40 He was two time champion in the stage division of USA tango championship, and had also placed at the Tango World cup in Buenos Aires, representing Cordoba, Argentina.  You may want to enjoy some videos of Marcelo's dancing. Two videos in This Week's Video: Molina and Vazquez, 2011 Argentine Tango USA Championship, Stage Winners!   Dancing in a style that might be suitable for the social dance floor, and:  Marcelo Molina Tango   definitely more suited for the stage, many other videos available as well. This Sunday the Sonora Tango community has their class with Chooi Goh at The Dance Castle, 23496 Gold Springs Drive, Columbia 95310. A car pool up there always makes for an enjoyable day. There will be no Wednesday class this week. Hope to see you all again next week.
