Mark your calendars - The Spring 2005 ALL HOUSTON MILONGA
(AHM) will be held Saturday April 9th from 8:30pm to 1:30am
at the Moon Water Grill at Waterford Marina (in Clear
Lake). Based on an original concept by Robert Schoenberg,
the next AHM will be held in a unique lakeside resort
restaurant. The evening will feature social dancing in
the beautiful Grand Dining Room, the best Argentine Tango
music, and a short Tango dancing demonstration. The Grand
Dining Room features a unique view of Clear Lake and of the
Waterford Marina, a fireplace, and a large wooden floor (of
course!). A menu will be available for guests wishing to
dine before or during the milonga. The grill also features
a full-service bar. The menu and other information about
the function will be posted on www.tangotango.us/ahm.html
as they become available. The entrance fee for the AHM is
$9 if you purchase your ticket(s) before March 20th (so
we can get an approximate head count before the event),
or $12 at the door. Don't wait, purchase your tickets
by communicating with Eric Lanoix. Complete details at
<http://www.tangotango.us/ahm.html>.
Tomas Howlin & Florencia Taccetti will teach a workshop
in Austin over the weekend of April 1-3, including
performances and various live music at the milongas.
