Toe to Toe are resuming their monthly practica at Borders
Bookstore: Mujeres (y Hombres) al borde Practica will be
the 28th of January. The "al Borde" practica at Borders
Book Store on West Alabama. This will be a monthly event,
last Friday of the month. 7 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. (we often
go later) DJ Leo. Great venue, nice floor, no pressure!
ArgenTango hosts another "Our Practica" this Saturday
evening from 6:30-8:30pm at Dance Arts, inside the Sterling
Plaza, 9888 Bellaire Blvd, Suite 166, near Beltway 8,
$3/person at the door. Join them for a casual friendly
gathering, wearing your comfortable wardrobe, but don't
forget your best tango shoes because they will be dancing
on a beautiful wood floor. Warm up your feet and have
a great time. http://tango-houston.com/ourmilongas.htm
Victor continues his Friday milongas on the north side,
now including classes in chacarera, a dance popular in
Buenos Aires milongas.
Toe to Toe Tango announces the return of Robin & Jennifer
to teach a full weekend of workshops Feb 4-6. Full details
are at http://www.t3tango.com/workshops.htm, and early
registration runs through January 30. Sign up today!
Next weekend will bring two Saturday milongas. Toe to
Toe will host a milonga as part of the weekend visit of
Robin & Jennifer. The same night, Argentango will host
an early Valentines milonga. More details next week on
these two milongas.
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
The Gypsies have scheduled their annual Julian New Years
party for Sunday, February 6. More details to follow.
(Yes, that is Superbowl Sunday, and there will be plenty
of TV screens.)
