[Tango] More tango this week, plus....

[Lois Donnay]

We had another great outdoor event last night at the History center! I think
there were 50 people there for the lesson, and more came to dance to Cafe
Accordion's great music. The weather was perfect - thanks for coming out!
And we also had a great turnout for the Tuesday lesson, as well as the
party, afterward.

This Thursday is the Follower's Technique at 7:00 (Ladies only, wine
optional), followed by advanced technique at 8:00. Saturday's lesson is at
10:00AM.

More outdoor opportunites:

Summer at Northrop: Mandragora Tango Orchestra  Northrop Plaza, 84 Church
St. S.E.,Minneapolis, MN 55455
Monday, July 13 : 12 p.m. - 1 p.m.    Price:  Free  No dancing, but lots of
fun anyway:  "There will be another Dancers With Waves event, this time on
Monday, July 20, at 5 p.m. or so.  It will again be at the Southeast corner
of LAKE CALHOUN, across from the archery bales where Nick Aguilar can be
seen splitting apples, William Tell-like on occasion.  Nick may demonstrate
this skill for the apple eating public on the 20th.  Bring some food and
drink,  lawn chairs, etc.  Alcohol is prohibido, sort of, at Minneapolis
parks.  Your Hosts, Nick and Jimito"

Then, July 25th is another outdoor dance at Minnehaha park!! 7PM to 11PM

All these events, plus some others coming up next year, have me thinking
that I need to train in another performance group to entertain and
demonstrate tango here in the Twin Cities. Let me know if you have an
interest in being part of this group.  As you know, performance tango is
different than social tango, so being good at one doesn't guarantee skill at
the other. But it can certainly be challenging, and a lot of fun!  I will be
selecting people over the next weeks, and training will begin when I can
determine a possible time. In the meantime, Thursday 8:00 classes are a good
way to prepare for what we'll work on.
