[Tango] Tango this week

[Lois Donnay]

It's finally milonga month!  If you're new to tango, this is a great way to 
get a better handle on the technique. If you have been doing tango for 
awhile, but sitting out milongas - that's just wrong!  Milongas are fun, 
easy and less pressure, plus it's easier to hear the music. What's not to 
love?

Tuesday nights are always "Milonga Martes": food and drink, lots of dancing, 
welcoming and comfortable; both new friends and old. Bring food or wine, or 
contribute to the kitty, 9:30 PM, 3142 1st Ave S

Babalu's is this Thursday. Tell your friends about the best, cheapest
beginners tango lesson in town!  One hour for $5, from 7 to 8PM. Then DJ'd 
music until
11. Babalu's is an upscale club with a great wood dance floor. The clientele 
is typically young, and they often have special events for happy hour, so 
get there early!  800 Washington Ave N, across from Bunkers.

Saturday beginning lessons are on as usual, 3142 1st Ave S., and they will 
be milonga too!

Saturday night is the TSoM milonga. For all of you who complimented me last 
night at the Pasta Bar on my cool TSoM T-shirt, I'm sure that there will be 
a few left to purchase from TSoM.

A reminder about private lessons: Private lessons are essential to your 
mastery of tango. Your tango may look good, or even feel good to you, but 
until you dance with a teacher, you may not know what issues that you need 
to resolve. Your partners may be willing to provide you feedback, but since 
they don't know how to lead, or don't know how to follow, it is difficult 
for them to tell you how to fix it. If you are serious about tango, you must 
get some private lessons in!

Upcoming: I'm sure you have heard that Marie and Terry are getting married, 
but the great news is that they have invited everyone! Isn't that great? The 
date is Thursday, March 13th. Details are on the TSoM calendar.
