Leonardo,

The content of the lesson will depend in part on who attends it. Our intent
is to teach some steps that newcomers can learn but which are also new to
people who have had a beginning course or two. This includes some simple
combinations of walking and turning steps that result in progression around
the floor. If there are some experienced people there, we will teach these
sequences in 2 versions, with and without walking to the cross (don't want to
spend an hour teaching only walking to the cross). Hope this helps.

By the way, don't you think it would be wise to tone down all this talk about
'passion' in your announcement of tango events? It might scare off some
people.

Roncito
