            Please plan to attend our next All Houston Milonga
            at King's Dance Center on Saturday evening June 26th.
            The AHM will be presented by Tango Houston.  I invite
            all dancers new and old to AT to be there.  All you
            beginners, if you don't regularly go to dances, you
            need to come to this one and meet a lot of new people
            and have a good time.  King's has a large ballroom
            and we need to fill it up!

            Kind Regards and See You There,

            Robert

        The All Houston Milonga starts at 9pm at 5700 South
        Rice Ave. Feel free to bring refreshments and/or food if
        you like.

        Victor & Susana continue their Friday milonga on the
        north side.

        Alas, Serrano's is closing and the Tango Houston Sunday
        practica/milonga is on hiatus until a new venue is located.

        Victor Collins has moved his Wednesday classes.  Please
        note the new location: The Dance Place, 3300 Chimney
        Rock, Suite 500, beginners 8-9pm, intermediate 9-10pm.

        the Turkish community in Houston, these lessons are
        open to anyone.  Free for Tango Houston members and
        Turkish groups, $5 otherwise.  The plan is to rotate
        instructors from different Houston teaching organizations.
