Modesto Tango Bulletin, August 6,  2018

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 We covered material from the first class last Saturday, and next Saturday we will work on material covered in his second class - easy, non flashy sacadas which can be done on the dance floor without disrupting the line of dance.  Again, check out the videos https://modestotango.blogspot.com/search/label/VOW  for the material covered - he was heavy on technique, and the moves covered are quite fun. 

One of our members signed up for the Albuquerque Tango Festival on Sunday, 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 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.
