Modesto Tango Bulletin, February 4, 2019
Kenny worked on a lot of technique for walking inside, outside and going to the cross with a nice exit in his first class and we will continue to work on that material next week. His second class focussed on pattern possibilities while in close embrace. We will continue to work on those next week.

TANGO TRIPS TO BUENOS AIRES:
From Marcelo Solis of Berkeley: Save 10% on our March 2019 Tango Trip to Buenos AiresOur next trip: March 15 to 24, 2019
Use promotion code LOVINGTANGO (valid until 2/5/19
Our trip is open to all levels.
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.
