Sunday
Tango Houston hosts their practica at Serrano's, 2815 South

super location, excellent sound system, lots of room,
and a neat atmosphere. With more room, we are going back
to labelling this event as a practica. There should be
plenty of space in which to teach, practice, work on class
material, in addition to just dancing for fun. The food is
great, so come early for supper, and there is a full bar.
We'll crank it up about 8:00, like always, and plan to get
out by about 11:00. We hope you come check it out! Cover
charge is $3.00 for members, and $5.00 for non-members.
