----------------
Argentine Tango with Indre at Continental Club before Glover
In nature the circle often occurs in moments of
transformation- the wave curls and breaks, the pebble
dropped in a pool spreads a concentric pattern, the tree
adds another ring. Such is life. Very similar to tango. In
tango couples are turning all the time: in a big circle
around the room in the line of dance, woman around the man,
man around the woman. Come and learn the Tango through
turning. Learn 5 basic turns for social dance floor. 5
Mondays in a row.
Starting June 29 till July 27, Every Monday
At Continental Club 3700 Main @ Alabama
7pm- 8pm (Stay longer and dance tango to Glover Gill)
$40 for 5 classes, $10 drop-in, 50% discount for students.
To register, ask questions contact Indre at
indrerapal at gmail.com or 713 319 4330
