Ilya Karash writes: 'Tango at the Crossroads' is
celebrating its 1-year anniversary on Thursday, July 7th.
It's hard to believe that it's already been a year since
we've started and I want to thank everyone who has helped
make this past year's only regular weekly milonga such a
great success. Please, come and celebrate this special
occasion, and your first glass of wine is on us. If you're
a regular, we'll see you there. If it's been a while since
you've danced with us, this would be a great opportunity
to come again. If you haven't visited us yet, stop by
and check out a friendly tango atmosphere and best music
variety in town. The music is now DJed directly from the
dance floor, and no tango craving is left unsatisfied.
Special requests are always welcome and encouraged.

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.
