Tuesday classes at Old Arizona, 2921 Nicollet S: We will continue to
push toward getting that connection that is the ultimate reward in
tango, and the reason for my reputation in turning out good leaders. I
have some new exercises! The door code is 24135, or ring the bell.

Tuesday party - the food has been ultra-good lately! And so has the
music! 9:30 until at least midnight, 3142 1st Ave S.

Wednesday May 13th is the Follower's Workshop. 7:00 - 8:30 Wednesday May 13th
3142 1st Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55408
We'll work on all of the most important skills a follower needs.
Axis, balance, ochos, footwork, understanding the lead, musicality,
embellishments and adornments, "pretty feet" - we'll cover quite a
bit. Just for followers. Bring your "relaxing" beverages!    $15.

Thursday lessons: Last week we worked on difficult things, but people
had a definite feeling of accomplishment. Women love this move!  This
week we should see results enough so we can take it up a notch. Don't
forget the Leader's Technique at 7: "Best kept secret in Minneapolis"

Saturday is the Black Dog milonga! Last month we had lots of people
and lots of fun. Get there early enough so I can dance with you! Try
out the new floor treatment. 7:30 lesson, 8 to 11PM dance. 308 Prince
St, St Paul.

Coming up: Canyengue workshops. I'm starting to get through to people
- last week a student said to me that he thought the music was a
Canyengue, but most everyone was still dancing tango salon and it
didn't look right. So he looked around to see how I was dancing, and
it was right with the music. Yes!! Another breakthrough in deeper
understanding of tango! (the dance AND the music!) I will start a
series of Canyengue classes next week, Wednesdays at 6:30 starting May
20th
