Tango Exchange Jan 28th

4-6pm at 1600 Stuart St

Do you have tango items in your closet that you never wear but are like new? How about clothes that are really beautiful but don’t fit your size or taste anymore?
Time to start the New Year with a fresh start and a new look. Bring your no-longer-needed tango shoes, practice shoes, dresses, skirts, pants, tops and accessories to Mark and Sundi’s house, 1600 Stuart Street, on Saturday, January 28th from 4:00 to 6:00pm. Your items can find a new home and you can find “new” items for yourself too! Music and movies are welcomed for exchange, too.  Like a garage sale, but so much better!

What to do:
• Please make sure all items are clean and in very good condition.
• Please bring clothes neatly folded or hung on a hanger.
• Also, please use masking tape or painter’s tape to put your name and a price on what you’d like to sell.

If you aren’t bringing anything that’s fine too… just bring yourself and some cash since you are sure to find some treasures. Some tables and a few clothes racks will be available. Feel free to invite friends. We will be happy to donate any remaining items! Call 431-7583, if you have questions.

 

Practica Jan 29th

4-6 pm at the YWCA (next to St. Peter's Church).

Host: Grace Hodges

Come work on technique from class that you want to perfect or just to dance! Teachers will be present to help with questions or demonstrations.

Have you learned something you'd like to share? Contact Julie about teaching a 15-minute lesson.

TangoHelena Website Upgrade

Our TangoHelena website at www.tangohelena.com will be briefly offline for 2 different 10 minute intervals over the next 4 to 5 days. This is for our service upgrade so we can get faster response times from our website host. Don't be alarmed if you get a "website under construction" message; just check back in 15 minutes and all will be back to normal (or so we hope!)
