Tango Houston will hold their 2005 Annual Meeting on
Tuesday, May 31, at 7pm upstairs at Pasha, a Turkish
restaurant at 2325 University Blvd in Rice Village.
Everyone with any interest in Houston tango is cordially
invited to attend and contribute your ideas and your energy
to help make Houston tango even better. Tango Houston
is an open and democratic organization with the goal of
promoting Argentine tango in Houston. When the meeting
is over, everyone is invited to step down the street and
dance at Baquero gallery for their regular Tuesday event.
Mercy writes: Just wanted to let you know that the practica
at Borders every 4th Friday is still on. We want to
continue with this venue since it is a nice place, and
everyone seems to have a good time there. In addition
to the Sunday practicas, Daniela will be hosting the
practica at Borders. [Al Borde Friday practica replaces
Daniela's Sunday practica for the fourth Friday of each
month.] Leo and I will probably take turns DJ music.
The next practica at Borders will be Friday, May 27th.

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.
