TUESDAY
Sacramento -
Tango by the River, 128 J Street, Old Sacramento
Vals  in the Level III class!
The Tuesday classes run for 4 Tuesdays: January 5, 12, 19, & 26. Cost is $50 per person or $90 per couple for the month.
In Level I, you learn the fundamentals of Argentine Tango: the basic elements of the tango walk (caminada) and introduction of basic steps, emphasizing posture, leading and following skills, and interpreting the music.
Level II focuses on pivots and turns (including ochos and the molinete), and how to apply all steps learned so far into the social setting.
Level III changes every month but always focuses on technique, musicality, and taking everything into the close embrace.
Vals is  a beautiful form of the tango, and we'd like to help you refine and develop your vals. Many of the movements in tango can be used in vals, although you will find that dancers tend to emphasize turning steps and choose not to pause as frequently as they do in tango. So how do we take the 4/4 timing of tango and put it to the 3/4 timing of vals music? Well, come to the Tuesday night classes in January, and we'll show you how!
6:30-7:30 p.m. Level I - Beginning Tango
7:30-8:30 p.m. Level II - Intermediate Tango
8:30-9:30 p.m. Level III - Intermediate/Advanced Tango (Vals for January)

Bulletin, December 21, 2009 -

Happy Winter Solstice. While Modesto classes are suspended for two weeks, there are opportunities out of town for lessons.  Sean and Charity ended the year with work on milonguero style.  We will return from a two-week hiatus with changes on the horizon for 2010.  Patrick will start the year with Jan. 9 & 16 lessons, a milonga at Jacobs Jan, 22, workshops with Polo Talnir & Diane Kaftan Jan. 23.  Jan. 30 will be a practica after an introductory class for absolute beginners, all available for the usual drop-in fee, $12 a lesson, $25 for the workshop, $5 for the milonga, $10 with the lesson before the milonga, $5 for the practica. But for a $30 subscription fee, paid as the month starts, you can get both lessons and the practica, and $10 off one of  the workshops. We hope we can replicate this formula every month.
