Happy Labor Day, marking the beginning of the academic year and a resumption of many activities, hopefully, one of them being Tango. Speaking of which, Kenny Bell returns to us on Saturday September 7, conducting two more workshops. The first class at 11 am for all levels, and the second class at 12:30. While he continues to be one of our favorite instructors, I spoke to someone at a Milonga on Friday, who told me that she was taking privates from him every week when he lived in Sacramento, and really misses his presence in there. He was her favorite, and we are fortunate to have him as a regular.
Speaking of privates, people are already lining up for private lessons. If interested in grabbing one on either Friday evening or Saturday morning on the weekend of Sept. 7, contact me at: marymenz44@gmail.com
The big news is we are scheduling a Milonga here in Modesto for November 8 at Urbano's. We are long overdue for a Milonga, so mark your calendar and come and enjoy dancing with local tangueros.
Until later, Mary
