Modesto Tango Bulletin, Dec. 24, 2018

Merry Christmas to the Modesto Tango community. We will be quiet this week, and then in January we come back with a vengeance. On the first weekend, Kenny returns and has in mind doing some heavy duty work on Tango technique, Then on January 19, Marcelo Molina, two time champion in the Stage category of Tango USA, the US branch of the Tango World Cup in Buenos Aires, comes for a couple of workshops.   Don't forget the concert by the Redwood Tango Ensemble at Congregation Beth Shalom on the afternoon of January 13, 2019. The organizer of the concert series plans to make room for us to dance, but whether you dance or not, you will definitely enjoy the music by this group of very popular Bay Area musicians.  Until later, Mary Our website: http://ModestoTango.com Our email mailto:ModestoTango@gmail.com Keep track with our on-line calendar  http://sites.google.com/site/modestotango/home/argentinetangoacti Modesto Tango is a non-profit association of tango aficionados dedicated to sharing artistic, cultural and social aspects of Argentine tango.  To unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/Modesto-Tango/subscribe   CALENDAR FOR THE WEEK  TUESDAY:  Dec. 25.
