Classes this Week: This week in socially distancing classes, we will be joined by Wendy Huebner. Wendy moved to Buenos Aires in 2011 from MN. She was a mainstay in my classes here before that. She was a ballroom teacher in her hometown of Milwaukee for awhile. We always hang out with her when we visit BAires, and she comes with us to milongas there. 
Log on the same way you have before: it's easy! You can join with the video camera, or mute your mic and turn off your video and talk or lurk. Same links as ever, just click here on your phone or computer: https://meet.google.com/fbu-xbiy-jjs

Private Lessons:  Yes, we can have a socially distanced lesson here if you bring your own partner. Or we can do a video lesson - it works great! 
Tuesday Milonga: You need this, you know it! Come and join us! Click here on your phone or computer, and have your adult beverage ready: https://meet.google.com/fbu-xbiy-jjs    
We'll try another garage milonga next week. Actual food, drink and seeing each other. Let's do it! Give me an idea for a theme.
Musings: Are you confused because it seems that everyone has a different opinion on how to learn to dance tango? In my 20+ years of teaching, I have heard so many ways of saying the same thing, some awfully confusing things, and some things that are just wrong. Usually the confusion is because there has been a key bit of information that may seem obvious to the teacher (usually a natural dancer), but is lost on the student. Sometimes terms are not translated well, or understood differently in Argentine Spanish. Sometimes something that works for one leader or follower may not work for someone of a different body or skill type. Maybe the advice comes from a follower who doesn't lead, or a leader who doesn't follow. If you are confused, don't despair. Bring it to me and I'll try to explain it. My long experience helps me to help you avoid the pitfalls of advice that is confusing, not meant for you, or just plain wrong. It can be painful to have to throw away or fix something you paid for, but the sooner you do it, the sooner you get to what you really want - to dance tango beautifully and well..

Update on Solstice Celebration and MORE

Thank you to all who celebrated the Summer Solstice with the TSoM Board.  As the pandemic continues, our hope is that sound on Zoom will match the quality of that on Facebook.  Or perhaps Facebook will offer more opportunity for the talking part of our events.  Wendy shared that she had 1100 hits on her facebook during the concert.  I have been asked to share a method for sending money to Mateo, Wendy and Bob. Scott has a paypal account.  scottmateo@hotmail.com  He will split contributions.
 
Larry the Llama is quite distraught.  He was to go to Gayle's home and we can't locate Gayle.  Please, if you read this, contact Fran (phone at bottom) so he can have some new adventures.  If we have the wrong name and you won the lottery for WELL DRESSED, let me know.  He's all packed.
 
The TSoM board is planning to keep the 2nd SATURDAY OF EACH  MONTH as the day for our events.  Although the TSoM calendar might indicate 8:30, we are hoping for some earlier outdoor (or indoor zoom) events.  The calendar will be updated as soon as monthly plans are finalized.
 
In July, Sabine has  scheduled Let's Talk Tango on Sat., the 11th, which some board members will attend.   The TSoM monthly event will be on Sunday,July 12. Creative thought being done by the planning committee will guarantee that the planned party will be fun.
 
WATCH FOR DETAILS AND MARK YOUR CALENDARS.

Classes this Week:  It's another week of socially disdancing tango! We will meet again virtually, but in addition you can join us personally as we will be OUTSIDE! 
Come and hang out in the fresh air and learn a little more about tango. This week we will be remembering how to do molinetes, and seeing if we can improve our technique. Plus we will talk in general about tango related things. We'll start at 7:30. You can join us virtually, the same way as always, if you don't want to be here in person.

Tuesday Milonga: Yes, it is going to be a beautiful day and evening, so you can join us virtually or in person. We will be in the backyard, sitting in front of the garage. Bring your own chair, glass, plate, mask, water bottle, etc if you want, and we will sit 6 feet apart and talk. Bring some food if you like, and there is plenty of hand sanitizer and bleach wipes to use. Music will be playing - and some dancing if it's alone or with your quarantine partner. This week's theme - Your favorite TSHIRT. If you are not ready to join us, the computer will be on and we will watch for you and you can still interact with the gang! https://meet.google.com/fbu-xbiy-jjs
