Modesto Tango Bulletin, January 14, 2019

The afternoon of Tango music at the Synagogue was a great success. The music by the Redwood Tango Ensemble covered some contemporary tangos as well as tangos from the Golden Age, at which point everyone was up dancing in the space provided for us in the back of the hall.    Saturday, 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 to Modesto to conduct a couple of workshops.   Catch a video of Marcelo dancing an improvisational tango at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jniZKufZtZs    On another note,  KCBP Community Radio, an extension of Modesto Peace Life Center is  hosting a dance contest at The State Theater on Saturday, February 23rd from 6 to 8 p.m. The event is called DANCING UNDER THE STARS.

Many classes are included, with the best teachers available. You will also be taken to milongas where I am a regular. Of course, not all participants have the same level of engagement with Tango, so other alternatives are offered.    There will also be group outings during the day, between 10:30 am and 2 pm, to explore the city, it's culture, and places relevant to the history of Tango.   In addition to group classes, there will be time for participants to take private lessons.   The itinerary is full, but flexible. Participants are welcome to rest when needed by choosing to skip a class or milonga in order to sleep in late or go to bed early.  I typically organize my trips around March and October every year. The next Buenos Aires tour dates are March 15 to 24, 2019; and then September 27 to October 6. Come to Buenos Aires with us and immerse yourself in the culture of Tango.
