        Milonga Brasile=C3=B1a - Saturday, December 3, 9pm - midnight

        This Saturday, December 3, we will host another milonga
        at EMPORIO BRAZILIAN CAFE.  The milonga begins at 9 PM.
        Arturo Rappi is the music maestro (DJ) for this milonga.
        Thank you all for a memorable milonga last month.  I hope
        to see you at this Saturday's event.

        Thank you, Mauro Marconi and Elizabeth Wingfield for a
        super pratica/milonga on Friday, November 18. The music
        was perfect.  The floor was perfect.  I appreciate your
        efforts to build a better tango environment for Houston.
        Mauro and Elizabeth will soon resume their lesson schedule.
        With their lessons, you will become a more polished,
        assured dancer.

        Try something different at Emporio.  This is not a meat
        factory like many churrascarias.  Their many Bahian
        dishes are national favorites in Brazil.  Study the
        menu and create an off-the-menu combo.  A great wine to
        pair with fish or chicken is the Portuguese white wine
        Vinho Verde.  It's not too sweet and is a good balance
        with fish and fowl.

        Everyone is invited to enjoy this family-friendly local
        restaurant with the tango community.  The food is good.
        There's a large wine selection.  The music will be
        fantastic.  It should be another great night of dancing.
        We are fortunate that the restaurant is willing to clear
        out tables and stay open late just for us!  We hope you
        can attend.

        Emporio Brazilian Caf=C3=A9, 12288 Westheimer, $10, free if
        you order dinner or drinks.

        DJ: Arturo Rappi   Hosts: Rick and Teresa, (281) 589-2644,

        Houston Winter Tango Intensive with Tomas Howlin

        hosted in partnership with Sabra Yarbrough

        A unique event designed for the Houston Tango
        community of dancers...

        Tomas Howlin was born in Buenos Aires and brought up
        under the Masters of  Argentine tango. He has been
        dancing, performing, and instructing for nearly 20
        years. He has taught and performed in many of the most
        prestigious schools and  theaters in Buenos Aires as
        well as internationally. Tomas is known for the profound
        growth and development he offers to his students. His
        gentle humor is always a  favorite.

        This winter, the most sought after tango instructor
        in North America will present an exclusive two-part
        tango workshop especially developed for the Houston
        community. Instead of the usual glimpse of knowledge a
        visiting instructor can provide, Tomas includes review,
        expansion, video DVD, and follow up practice to ensure your
        progress and the full benefit of what is being offered.
