Mercy and the Helios Tango Club also start another cycle
of intermediate tango for five Wednesdays through Sept 12.
Every session of this class is new material and it can
be taken many times. The next cycle of classes will
focus on building on the tango fundamentals: improving
the quality of each step and the connection between
the partners. We explore the structure and technique of
tango and keep memorizing patterns to a minimum. Note:
Requirement: Students must be familiar with walking to
the cross, ochos, ocho cortados, and molinetes. Depending
on the balance of leaders and followers, the size of
the class is limited. Please let me know ahead of time

Dr, (713) 529-6100, Wednesdays 8pm - 9pm, $25 for all
