Tapestry Folkdance Center is focusing on Argentine Tango during their April Sunday Ballroom Dance series. I will teach a class in Argentine Tango at Tapestry before every one of their Ballroom Dance Sundays in April, starting this Sunday, April 1st at 6:00, and again on Sunday, April 15 and Sunday April 29th. This is your chance to help others get an understanding of this beautiful dance, and help them join the tango community, so be sure to tell your friends who are not yet tango dancers. What a deal!! Then, on the last Sunday, April 29th, they are going to have a Tango Milonga after the ballroom variety dance starting at 9PM. Lesson, variety dance, then milonga!

Musings: You've fallen in love with tango. Now you need to make a commitment to it. Commitment to something gives you your identity, and gives you a sense of purpose. In order to make your love work, you need to love it enough to build a structure of behavior around it - just in case your love falters. If you truly are in love with something, then of course you want to rise to the occasion.  A structure of commitment to tango includes:1.  group lessons  2.  private lessons 3. practice and 4. milongas. You cannot truly get anywhere without a commitment which includes all of these things. Then you will truly deserve your love, and best of all, tango will love you back.
