[Tango] Tango this week and beyond

[Lois Donnay]

So much to talk about this week that I hope I can get it all in. Such a
problem - too much fun!
First, the upcoming events:
Tuesday night dance, drink and talk at my house, 3142 1st Ave S. Starts at
about 9:30, usually ends just after midnight. Bring some wine, some food or
put some bucks in the kitty.

This Saturday May 19th the Black Dog tango will be held at Old Arizona to
make room for all the people who will come for Maxi's lesson and DJ'ing.
Maximiliano Gluzman started dancing in 1997. He soon discovered milonguero
style and studied with the most renowned Argentine teachers in this style:
Susana Miller, Ana Maria Schapira, Pedro "Tete" Rusconi, Pocho y Neli,
Ricardo Vidort and Jorge Kero. Even if his main source of practice has been
dancing in the milonga through endless hours, he has also embraced teaching
as a main activity. 
		His topic will be floorcraft and dancing in small spaces.
This is one of the biggest questions that I get - what do I do when the
traffic stops?

		Old Arizona Studios, 2821 Nicollet Ave S, Mpls, 55408  $15
for the lesson, $5 for the dance.  Lesson at 7 to 8PM, dancing at 8. In the
dance studio, in the purple building. They will have a theater performance
that night, so please be sure that you come into the correct building.  We
will have signs up.

June 30th is the Outdoor Milonga at Old Arizona. You don't want to miss this
one! We will dance in the courtyard, but the garage door to the theater will
be open so we can dance on a wood floor. But who would want to do that?
Unless it rains...

Now to the lessons:
Tonight and every Monday is for the guys. Following for leaders helps you to
explore what it is really like on the other side. 
Guys who just want to lead are welcome to come and help out at no charge.
Leading a guy, according to David, is kind of like warming up with two bats.
So you will get something out of it, too! 3142 1st Ave S

In Tuesday's beginner's class, we have been getting the cross figured out.
On Thursday, we play with it some more.
Saturday's classes (3142 1st Ave) have had fewer people, so if you want some
extra attention this is a great class to attend.
