Tango Houston announces that the Tango Houston Sunday
Night Practica is back! This Sunday, May 16, at Serrano's,
2815 South Shepherd at Kipling, 77098. It is just a
block from Alabama, and sort of across the street from
The BookStop. The phone is 713-528-4550. We think it's a
great venue. 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. Thanks to Serrano's, and Rick
and Ron for welcoming us into their place. 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.

Eric Lanoix & Susana Collins began teaching in Clear Lake
on Mondays this week. Like the excellent tango piano from
Glover Gill, Monday events are almost always past before
this weekly schedule has the coming weekend details, but
don't let that stop you from attending early week events.
Just plan ahead for next week.
Victor & Susana continue their Friday milonga event on the
north side. Martin & Natia are awaiting the birth of their
child, and don't have a milonga planned for this weekend.
The New Orleans Casa Argentina tango event is on Saturday,
June 5. The subject line of the recent message was
incorrect, but the content of the message was correct.
