    As part of a continuing series of summer tango activities:

    There will be a milonga at the Phillips Recreation Center (Springfield &
    McCullough, Urbana) on Saturday June 29 from 9 PM - 12:30 AM. Admission is
    $3.

    Prior to the milonga, starting at 7:30 PM, Susana and I will be giving
    a workshop on 'Basics of Tango Technique - 2: Ochos (Part 1)'. This is the
    2nd in a 4 part series of workshops prior to the summer milongas at the
    Phillips Center. If you have prior Argentine tango experience, you need not
    have
    attended the first workshop in this series to attend the remaining workshops.

    The cost is $5 and includes admission to the milonga.

    Subsequent topics are:
    July 13: Ochos, 2
    July 27: Paradas and other tango pauses

    This workshop series covers the basic tango steps from the perspective of
    technique, particularly focusing on partner connection, in order to have a
    more enjoyable tango experience. Thus, some familiarty with basic tango steps

    is assumed. Dancers with tango experience will probably benefit more from
    taking these workshops; however, dedicated beginners with some prior tango
    experience would be able to take them and gain a solid foundation in the
    basics of tango.

    In addition to these workshops, Susana and I will also be continuing to host
    tango practice sessions at the Phillips Recreation Center on alternate
    Tuesdays in June and July (July 2, July 16, July 30), from 8-10 PM. Admission

    is FREE. During these sessions we can assist you in learning the material
    we cover in these workshops.

    Ron & Susana
