Wednesday, January 19th, 2005

Due to the weather in Durham, we\’ve decided to go ahead and cancel the Foundations and Intermediate Tango Classes and Practica this evening. No reason to risk people slipping around on some snowy and icy roads (and even if you\’re fine driving on it, there are plenty of other people around you who aren\’t ;-) …). The 2nd classes of these series will be held next Wednesday, Jan 26th, and the classes will be extended one week to end on Feb 9th. Stay warm.

Jack will play EC Swing, WC Swing, waltz, cha-cha, zydeco, tango, salsa, merengue, and other dance music to keep the eclectic crowd moving. The dance will be held at Triangle Dance Studio. There\’s some kind of intro lesson at 8pm and dancing starts at 8:30 and continues well past midnight.
