[Tango] Tango this week

[Lois Donnay]

We are having some fun embellishing our dance, both for the man and woman. 
We have been working on some more difficult things in Intermediate, but 
remember if it gets difficult, keep working on the simpler things that are 
challenging you. Unfortunately there are no Thursday classes this week 
because of Babalu's, but we will continue the momentum we had next week.

Tuesday party is heating up! This week we are going to celebrate Becky's 
birthday, even though it was actually Sunday. We had lots of food last week, 
and this week we'll see if we can add cake. Come and join us 9:15 or so.

Babalu's is this week! Lesson at 7:00, dance at 8. Cover $5. The mojitos 
here are the best. Big wood dance floor! Free parking on the street, or 
valet parking.  HAPPY HOUR:  "Tapa" and Wine specials from 5:00pm to 7:00pm, 
the food special is Paella Valenciana, (chicken, mussels, clams, shrimp and 
Argentine langostinos)http://www.babalu.us/

I got this several years from one of my students, and it always reminds me 
of why we are (or should be) dancing tango:  It is fun! Sometimes we spend 
so much time worrying about our technique, styles, moves, etc. that we 
forget the most important part - Are you smiling after your tango nights??? 
"I'm afraid I must complain about last night's class.  My face hurt when I 
got home from smiling so much.  Great fun.  Even though I didn't completely 
get the closed leg flick thing, I did get a sense of what it could be like. 
It's amazing to me how  just the possibility can be pleasing.  It's times 
when there is absolutely no feel of the could, that can be a bit 
discouraging. But, I rarely worry about those any more, and look forward to 
the ones that make my cheeks hurt."
