Victor Collins Eye Candy Studio was closing at the end of
March, so this Wednesday's class would have been the last
in that location. A recent fire just down the hall from
Eye Candy Studio prevents this last class from being held
on Wednesday, so Victor has canceled the Wednesday class
this week only. Victor has a new location for Wednesday
classes starting April 7 at E & Company, 2294 Holcombe
at Greenbriar. Victor now also offers Thursday classes
in his newly expanded home studio at 3013 Roseheath in
far north Houston.
The Society for the Performing Arts (SPA) presents Julio
Bocca with Ballet Argentino this Thursday, April 1,
at 8pm. This is mainly a ballet performance, but
influenced by Argentine tango ideas. HATA dancers
will present an Argentine tango performance
prelude in the Jones Hall lobby starting at 7pm.
