Daniela's Sunday practica takes a break so everyone
can attend the monthly al Borde Practica. Toe to Toe
host another Mujeres (y Hombres) al Borde� Practica
- (Women and men on the edge/verge�) this Friday,
7pm-9:30pm. It's Friday and you feel like the week has
taken everything out, you're done, you're on the verge
of a nervous breakdown . . . we at Toe to Toe don't
want that. Nobody wants that. So come join us and do
some dancing, have a cup a' joe, work on a few steps,
read a book . . . unwind. The "al Borde" practica at
Borders Book Store on West Alabama, (Regular event on the
fourth Friday of every month). http://www.t3tango.com/

ArgenTango hosts another "Our Practica" this Saturday
evening from 6:30-8:30pm at Dance Art, inside the Sterling
Plaza, 9888 Bellaire Blvd, Suite 166, near Beltway 8,
$3/person at the door. Following the old tradition of
the tangueros in Buenos Aires, we present the Practica as
a time and place to review basics, work on new steps we
have learned, constructively share exercises, comments
and tips with other dancers, and practice what we have
learned before taking it to the social dance floor.
Let's practice and improve our steps all together in
a great spacious dance studio. Casual and friendly
atmosphere. Dress in your every day cloth and yet bring
your best tango shoes because we'll be sliding on a
beautiful wood floor. All Argentine Tango dancers,
students, instructors, and enthusiasts are invited.
