Michael Figart of Tango Houston writes:
Our latest All Houston Milonga Saturday was a big
success. We had 71 attendees, and I believe everyone
had a great time. Thanks first to Robert Schoenberg
for e ngineering these events, and to Alex Mamontoff
for providing the music. He did a great job, playing
something for everybody, and I don't know what I'd
have done that night had it not been for Alex. Tango
Houston thanks everyone who attended , and especially
all the teachers who were there, and who encouraged
all their students to attend. Abrazos a todos!
