Victor continues his free class & milonga in far north
Houston on Fridays, and Daniela's practica continues for
the first three Sundays in June.
Susana Collins writes: Dear dancers, I am sure many of you
have had the pleasure of meeting John Gammill at some of
our recent tango events. He is the tall fellow, normally
accompanied by his sidekick Terry, which together easily
fill a room with their positive and cheerful energy. Aside
of a new member in our tango community he is involved in
various dances, and has been busy putting together a fund
raising event - to benefit the American Cancer Society.
A cause very close to him, after suffering the loss of
his wife, Sylvia Spanihel, to the disease. The event
promises to be a fun filled night - with a mixture of
dance music for all to enjoy, and a great floor to dance
them on... including (of course) tango music which
will be provided by Eric Lanoix throughout the night.
So, mark your calendars for Saturday June 18, at The
Moon Water Grill near the Kemah Boardwalk (same place
as our last AHM dance). Come to support a GREAT cause,
and stay to enjoy a WONDERFUL and FUN night. Please find
complete information on this registered ACS event, on the
following link: http://www.danceandlivewell.com/Events.html
