        Ron Jones will join us as a guest teacher for another
        cycle of the regular intermediate classes in May. Ron has
        been dancing tango for 10 years, and is fluent in close
        embrace, salon and nuevo tango styles. He lists Ernesto
        Carmona, Marcelo y Analia, Daniel Lapadula, and Andreas y
        Meredith as some of his most influential teachers. He will
        collaborate with Mercy in her regular classes to share

        May 14th - June 11th from 8:45 PM - 10:00 PM.

        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 Argentine Tango
        and keep memorizing patterns to a minimum.

        Technique requirement: students must be familiar with
        walking to the cross, forward and back ochos, ocho
        cortados, and molinetes.

        Classes are Wednesday nights from 8:45 PM to 10:00
        PM. Rates per person are $35 for all five classes or $15
        per class for drop-in. There are five classes in one
