        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.

        he has suspended all his group classes until January 14.
