There are no milongas scheduled for this weekend.
Victor's studio had announced a milonga, but those plans
have changed. Next weekend's events will include Victor's
studio on Friday and Martin & Natia on Saturday.
Toe to Toe will host a workshop by Robin Thomas &
Jennifer Bratt of New York City over the weekend of
Jan 31-Feb 1. Robin & Jennifer combine the best of
milonguero style with improvisation, creativity, and
elements of new tango. Robin has performed with Susana
Miller, and he is a world-renowned DJ of tango music.
