        Victor and Susana's regular Friday milonga on the north
        side continues.  The start time has been moved back to
        8:30pm.  Also, Victor now teaches on a monthly cycle,
        so the material is organized into sections starting on
        the first week of each month.

        Toe to Toe brings back Mall'onga at The Galleria this
        Saturday afternoon, starting at 5pm between Macys and
        Saks Fifth Avenue on the first floor (entrance on the
        corner of Sage & Westheimer).  This seems to be the last
        firm date for now.  The Galleria won't commit more than
