        Victor continues his Friday milongas on the north side,
        now including classes in chacarera, a dance popular in
        Buenos Aires milongas.

        The Gypsies play their regular third Sunday gig at Cosmos.

        Eric Lanoix & Michelle Lamb will be teaching an
        all-weekend tango workshop in San Antonio, TX on
        Fri-Sun Feb 18-20. There will be four 90-minutes
        classes (2 on each day), as well as a milonga on Friday
        night (Feb 18th). Called "Zen in the Art of Tango",
        this workshop will focus on tango dancing skills that
        everyone should have. This workshop is not about learning
        steps that you might forget within 1-2 weeks, or that
        no one will be able to practice with you... Eric and
        Michelle will be teaching brand new material that will
        help you better your tango, not just for a few weeks,
        but FOR GOOD! Mark your calendars, full details at
        http://www.tangotango.us/fourpillars.html
