Kenny Bell gave us some good information on when to start dancing musically, as well as covering calecitas in the second class. We will continue working on that material, and next Saturday Bob will cover the class as a number of us will be at the Albuquerque Tango Festival. Let's make it worth his while. Kenny says he likes the schedule of coming to town on Friday evening before his lesson, and conducting up to three private lessons the night before, and then a couple more on Saturday before the group class, so if you are interested in availing yourself of that opportunity send an email to: marymenz44@gmail.com. He will be back on October 26 - and the number of privates is limited so get in line and you will be fit into an available slot. 

 

Until later, Mary

Our romance started in a milonga in Buenos Aires after several years of friendship, and developed into a solid love relationship and dance partnership. As most of you may know, we got married in Buenos Aires on August 31, 2018 together with our families and childhood lifelong friends.

We consider California our second home and the tango community our second family , so we decided to host a once in a lifetime WEDDILONGA in order to celebrate and share our immense happiness with our beloved tango friends, students and the whole tango community in the Bay area.
