Hard to believe we are already working our way into August - where is the year going so fast? Kenny Bell gave us a lot of material to work on in the next two weeks. Check out This Week's Video for the material covered - he was heavy on technique, and the moves covered are quite fun.  


Until later, Mary

Kenny Bell returns to us on Saturday, July 28, with two classes, one at 11 am for all levels, beginners particularly encouraged, and another at 12:30 at a more intermediate level. Kenny comes to Tango from the Hip Hop world, and once he discovered Tango has entered competitions and is often teaching at various festivals and serving as DJ for milongas around California. He has become one of Modesto's favorite instructors. Come and take advantage of this young dynamo.
