        We are pleased to announce that Victor Collins has
        recovered from his recent surgery.  The milonga and free
        class on the north side of town continue this Friday, and
        his group classes will start again on Wednesday, Sept. 1.

        The Gypsies play at Cosmo Cafe this Sunday, 7-10pm, free.

        The Saturday milonga previously announced by Martin &
        Natia has unfortunately been canceled, due to another
        event at the studio.  They plan their next milonga for
        Saturday, August 28.

        Eric Lanoix's Clear Lake classes have relocated to Dance
        Moves dance studio, 611 Kirby in Seabrook, a larger studio
        with bars and mirrors.  In addition, he will present a new
        six week cycle of classes starting Thursday, August 26th.
        Beginners 7-8pm, intermediate 8-9pm.  Contact Eric at
        832-287-9229, or <eric at tangotango.us> for more details.
