[HouTango-L] Tango This Week (9/27/04)

[A. Lester Buck III]

        Martin & Natia host a Saturday milonga at King's Center
        of Dance, details below.

        Victor Collins' milonga and free class on the north side
        of town continue this Friday, with a practica before
        the class.

        Toe to Toe has posted all the details about their upcoming
        workshop with Caleb Marcus and Ting Chen, Oct 8-9, on
        their website at <http://www.t3tango.com/workshops.htm>.
        Caleb & Ting are at the forefront of a new generation of
        Argentine Tango dancers. Their innovative style pushes
        the traditional boundaries of tango and bestows upon
        it a freedom expressed through a modern interpretation.
        The early bird discount is fast approaching, too: sign
        up by Oct 3, this Sunday.

        Thursday is the early bird deadline for the Austin Fandango
        de Tango 2004 over Thanksgiving, Nov 24-28.  Ricardo always
        puts on a great event, and this is his sixth Fandango.
