[Tango] Tango this week!

[Lois Donnay]

**For the month of November and December, all lessons will move to 3142 1st 
Ave S.

This week, both Tuesday and Thursday, we will be continuing our work on 
floorcraft - dancing in small spaces. I was very pleased with the 
improvement last week, especially from the followers. I think we had a few 
"wake-up calls" for both leaders and followers. It can be so much fun to 
dance in a small space!

When it comes to floor space, it is important to work together with other 
dancers on the floor, as well as taking care of yourself and your partner. 
Remember that sometimes you don't even know that you're the problem - but 
others know and they tell me. So if you are finding this in your email box 
more than once, it may be you.

I leave Friday afternoon for Buenos Aires!

This Saturday is the TSoM milonga, at the new location at the Retro Ballroom 
in St. Louis Park.

Next week, Dieter, Dale, Vic and Becky will be handling the Tuesday night 
guided practica. A guided practica is more casual than a lesson, but is 
great for bringing your tango up a level. You learn from more experienced 
dancers - what works and what doesn't. Usually a topic is chosen, and the 
practica revolves around that. The cost is $5.

The party will be held afterwards, as usual!

P.S. I will keep you up to date on what we are doing  (within reason!) while 
my group is in BsAs.  Stay tuned! I will also be able to get emails every 
day.
