<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This week, we're starting a new series on basics,
letting tango into your body and not just in your feet. David and I discussed at
length what we felt from the best followers in BA, and I know what I felt from
the best leaders, so we intend on requiring this from our local
dancers!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thursday we are going to work more in open, which
is always good for followers. We're going to start tackling colgadas, which is
just a fancy word for pivots. My style of teaching is to make things seem easy,
not confuse you!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tuesday party! This is so like Buenos Aires -
showing up late at a friend's house with a bottle of wine, and laughing, talking
and dancing until the clock just won't let you ignore it anymore. </FONT></DIV>

we'll include a couple of danceable Christmas tunes. 7:30, Broadway and Prince
St., St. Paul.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>P.S. David reminds you that he is available for car
repair as well as consulting on car repair issues. He is a certified mechanic,
but also worked for many years as a service writer. He can not only
repair it himself, (electrical problems are his specialty) he can tell you what
a repair should cost, which repairs need to be done right away and which
can wait, and whether your estimate is reasonable. The next time
you gasp at a huge estimate, remember you can call him for a consultation.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Oh, yes, and the home repair projects.
Plumbing, ceramic tile, sheetrock are his favorites, and I am sitting in comfort
after his excellent insulation and window replacement. Together, he and Len can
do just about anything!</FONT></DIV>
