-a Look Ahead

Last Sunday's Milonga was attended by two out-of-town dancers. This is how we keep going, even though we miss our Dr. Ken. Dr. Ken, if you are reading your email during your vacation in France, we miss you! Especially for Ken and Cathy, I put up a picture on our website of last Sunday's intermediate class. See: http://www.tangoyte.com/milonga.htm

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 University

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

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

Complete registration information for Leia's workshops is now avaiable at http://www.tangoyte.com/schedule.htm . Note that there are also plenty of day-time hours still open for private lessons with Leia.

Note: we are introducing a special "catchup class" at the start of weekend #2, for people who have to miss the first weekend. We are doing this in order to accomodate people from Tallahassee planning to attend, as they have their own 2-weekends long workshops partially overlapping with our visti from Leia (see news item below.)

-Blog: Henk's Last Tango in Gainesville

Our first installment of the MOTS blog is now completed, with the result of Henk's 4th week shown in the last video clip. Read some good observations and discussion

Jan tells us that Henk now has all the basic elements that are necessary to go out and dance. All that is needed now is: practice! We are looking forward to Henk's report back to us after he goes and explores the milongas in Amsterdam. I will conclude this news item with an intriguing quote from Henk's final post:

3 of us will be traveling to Tallahassee on Saturday June 10, to attend a part of Alberto and Valorie's workshops on "musicality and floorcraft." See the website of the Tallahassee Tango Society: http://www.tangotallahassee.com/ for information. Please Contact us if you are interested in carpooling for this occasion. We are looking forward to the opportunity to finally meet Tallahassee's long time itinerant teachers from New Orleans.

Several of the lovely people from Tallahassee will be similarly broadening their horizons by attending Leia's second weekend of workshops.
