-Sunday's Milonga
This Sunday we had 2 new ("off the street") beginners, very
focussed gentlemen both--at this rate it looks like we will become Southeast
brainiest milonga (and because of that, the most elegant one of course)!
We want to thank Mary for letting us share in her birthday
celebration, thank you specifically for the spirited birthday dance and
delicious Jenny's cake!
The Sunday Milonga will be on as scheduled:
7:45pm-8:45pm: lesson for intermediate dancers w/ Jan and for
beginners w/ Chut and David
8:45pm-11:30pm: general dancing.
Location: Unified Training Center, at the corner of sw 8th street and

Admission fee: usd 10.00 paid at the door--refreshment and sweets

Those who don't wish to take the lessons can come
anytime, there is plenty of room to dance without interfering w/ the
lessons.

ourselves very lucky to have him here, providing us with a solid basis to

private lessons, Saturday, is also booked near capacity. Contact Thuy for
information:
thuy_carroll@yahoo.com
.)

Satuday's Cooking Demo # 1 was great fun. What a nice way to

5/13. Yuwen will show us how to prepare the "pot sticker" and
Thuy is making spring rolls (cha gio).
-Blog: Henk unstoppable in week 2!
("MOTS Learns Tango")
The first video is up! (
http://tyt-mots.blogspot.com/) Follow Henk's progress as
this "Man Off the Street" becomes a tanguero. You can read Henk's
comments, as well as Jan's criticism, and leave your own comments as well!
Currently, the blog is showing the progress with a week lag time, imposed
by the video uploading procedure. (By the way: Henk's
"street" is in Amsterdam, where he is a practicing architect. He is
staying in Gainesville for one month.)
