Classes this Week:  Tuesday Class this Week: We are holding a real in person class for those who are vaccinated. The time is 7:00PM on Tuesday March 30, and it's going to be a lot of review - getting us back on track in our tango. Especially useful for those who think they've forgotten everything. Also, we all need to be working on fixing those bad habits that may have crept back into our dance. 
We will also have the video going, so you can join in virtually. Here is the link: To join the video meeting, meet.google.com/svk-wxah-ykg
Otherwise, to join by phone, dial +1 402-588-0112 and enter this PIN: 433 594 675#

Private Lessons:  Yes, we can have a socially distanced lesson here if you bring your own partner. If you have been vaccinated, we can have a lesson together. Treat yourself to an hour of solid great tango dancing and getting you to your best skill level!! Or we can do a video lesson - it works great! 

Tuesday Milonga, March 30 8:00: We can join here for a milonga for those who have been fully vaccinated - more get to join us every week! We had a wonderful time last week March 23, and are looking forward to doing it again!  Come and join us! Last week even the vaccinated mostly wore masks, so keep that in mind. Or you can join us virtually. I'll have the computer on. To join the video meeting, click here   meet.google.com/svk-wxah-ykg
We'll try another outdoor milonga soon. Watch for good weather! Actual food, drink and seeing each other in person! 

Musings: This has been such a scary year. I've been very worried about so many things. But I'll share with you a concern I've been having. Will people forget tango? Will they forget how much fun it is? How a social life can be built around the friends one makes in the tango community? About the brain health, body health, psychological and emotional health benefits of tango? Will the infrastructure that supports tango, like orchestras, event halls, ballrooms, teachers, bars, restaurants, banquet halls, night clubs, etc, be able to sustain and come back? Of course I'm not the only one who is concerned, and there has been quite a bit of conversation on this topic. So I think all of us need to redouble our recruitment efforts.  But this time, not just people who haven't tangoed before, but people who we haven't seen in a year or more. Invite them back. And most importantly, go to events and classes. I've heard of people looking in the door of an event, and if there weren't enough people they would leave. Don't leave. Be one of the people so the next people who look in the door see the fun. When my mom and dad returned from a night on the town, I'd ask my mother "Did you have fun?" She would answer "Fun is what you make it." That is so true. Be the light. Be the fun. And let's come back to a community that is better than ever.
