Many of us were delighted last Tuesday to walk into Urbano's for the practice to find a shinny smooth floor - picture below:

Modesto Tango Bulletin, August 27, 2018





Inline image 1

Kenny worked us on molinetes in the first class, and a neat exercise for working in close embrace and in tight spaces. Recaps are in our "Video of the Week". It's all stuff we will continue to work on - however, next Saturday there are no classes as it will be Labor Day Weekend, so we see you all again on Sept. 8. 


One of our members signed up for the Albuquerque Tango Festival, but by the time she did so, the block of rooms set aside for the festival was all sold out, so she nailed down a room at the same hotel at the regular price, but would like to share it, so, if by chance you had the same happen to you and nailed down a room in another hotel, you might be interested in sharing expenses on a room at the venue hotel. Women only - if interested, get back to me and I will put you in touch. 

 

Until later, Mary
