This Month's Workshop, March 15th:  Nailing the Endings!  I get such good response from my followers when I put a little drama in the last notes of the song. This is so important to a good tango dance.   End with a great pose, and she'll forgive any crap in the middle :).  But how? We will focus on:
  • Predicting the end of the song (musicality!)
  • Cool poses
  • Practicing the possibilities
  • Tricks and shortcuts until it's second nature
  • Taking advantage of the leader's position, and maximizing your opportunity
We will also cover some floorcraft hints, so you have room for what you learn.  Held at 3142 1st Ave S, 55408.  12:30 Saturday, March 15th 12:30 Saturday, $20. 

Third Saturday Milonga:  Back to St. Petersburg, which seems to be the favorite. The cover is $10, but with that you get a free drink! And you can choose anything, even one of their fancy cocktails or martinis, or that nicer glass of wine. You'll want to eat here, too - the food is so tasty!  And it's David's birthday, so come and help him have a happy one. Free lesson at 7:30 is included as well.
