Susana Collins writes about One more Tango @ the Belmar,
2710 Richmon near Kirby, this Saturday, 8:30pm...
"Many of us may recall getting together at the Belmar
on Tuesday nights... long-long ago... I believe it was
2003??? Aww man, how quickly time passes..!!! Well... I
can definitely say I carry quite a few memories from the
place and I just could not pass up the opportunity to
hold one more dance event!! I certainly hope everyone in
the community will be able to join me!!! The bar is not
presently in operation, so it will be entirely ours for the
evening - as a private event! $10.00 cover - to help with
the rental fee - please contact Susana at SusanaTango.com for
advance tickets. BYOB - Anything you wish to consume -
we will provide all glassware and ice. DJ'ing by Eric
Lanoix and Ilya Karash... but all music suggestions
are welcomed." http://houtango.com/maps/BelmarMap.html
Toe to Toe will host their next workshop, to be
taught by Ney Melo of New York/Buenos Aires, over the
weekend of May 7-8. Early bird discount available
through this Friday, April 30. Full details at
http://www.t3tango.com/workshops.htm
Victor Collins is involved in the Argentine tango
portions of Tony Pace's 7th Cinco de Mayo Dance Festival.
There is a workshop (with milongas included, 9pm-4am):
Argentine tango, salsa, etc. for May 6th and 7th, and also
a prefestival buffet and dance FREE at Chayns Night club,
3930 FM 1960 West. For the complete information please
check http://www.tonypaceportfolio.com.
And on a sad note, Leonor & Mercy are winding down Toe
to Toe tango events after a long and successful run,
as Leonor writes:
On a final note, Mercy and I would like to thank
everyone who has supported Toe to Toe in our endeavors.
We have never had an unsuccessful event and we had
a lot of fun to boot. This brings me to where we're
going now. These will be the last two events we
host/organize. We are disbanding Toe to Toe after
the workshops with Ney. Mercy has finally been given
permission to write her thesis, which will keep her
chained to her laptop for a few months, and I have
been given a wealth of new projects at work will be
generally very time consuming. Our time just isn't
as available as it once was. It would be unfair to
organize events where we can't dedicate the amount of
time and care we have been able to in the past. So
rather than piddle out and put together events for
the sake of doing it, we defer to all the other
dedicated organizers in Houston who have done such
a beautiful job of not only maintaining tango here,
but nourishing it. I encourage anyone who has not
visited http://www.tangohouston.org to use that as your
information base for tango in Houston and keep dancing!
Glover Gill's free Monday tango piano is moving just
down the street to The Big Top for a few months:

Glovertango and Tosca; Two rare performances by the full
7-piece orquestra; Tuesday, May 10th Cipolinna 9:00-
11:00 and Friday, May 20th Central Market North 6:30-
9:00. The May 10th event at Cippolina's will be a big
night, as they are clearing out all the tables for dancing,
and all proceeds go to benefit a beloved Austin tanguera
in distress.
