We are out of Summer and into Fall now, and Kenny Bell kicks of the season for us with a couple of workshops.  The first one aimed for all levels with beginners particularly encouraged is at 11 am. The second class with a bit more challenge  at a more intermediate level is at 12:30 pm. His classes are always enjoyable and well worth your while.  See his summary for the previous class in This Week's Video.

 

Until later, Mary

Kenny Bell worked on forward ochos and paradas in the first class, and on "cadenas" in the second class. See the videos from the class summary. We will continue working on ochos, which Oscar Mandagaran said accounts for 60% of our tango dancing.   

We are enjoying the new floor at Urbanos and have actually talked to management there about the possibility of a milonga.
