Wednesday - January 4, there will be a free beginner’s introduction to Argentine tango class at 6:30 – 7:30.
Please let your friends and family know so that they can try out a class. Maybe it could be a New Year’s resolution to try something different!

Because an opening at EDAM became available to us, Meng and I have decided to take the opportunity and expand our teaching to include a beginner’s class; followed by our intermediate/advanced class and practica.

Wednesday schedule :
6:30 – 7:30 beginner’s class $12 drop in (free January 4)
