Due to the inclement weather conditions, tonight\’s (Tuesday\’s) Foundations 1 and Intermediate Classes at Helios Annex are both cancelled. Although the snow is melting pretty rapidly, both accuweather.com and weather.com are telling me that the temp is at freezing and will rapidly drop below freezing as the sun sets.
Assuming everything clears out tomorrow, Wednesday classes will continue as scheduled.
Thursday, I\’ll be DJing at the Houston Tango Festival, and I\’m excited that there are a few more people from the Triangle attending the festival this year.
If you\’re staying in town, then on Friday, please come to the milonga at Parizade. This month\’s milonga will be hosted by Cecilia Pagani and music will be provided by DJ Katia Singletary.
Sunday the 25th, at 3pm, make a brief trip to Holly Springs Cultural Center to enjoy a concert by the Free Spirits Ensemble. It will feature the music of Astor Piazzolla and other Latin American composers, and the ensemble will be joined by guest singer Teresa Fernandez, and guest dancers John and Katia Singletary! For tickets, call (919) 567-4000. Adults $12, Seniors/Students $10, Children 12 and under free.
This past Sunday, we had our second \”tango music jam\”, hosted by Katia Singletary. It\’s a lot of fun to be exploring the music directly, so if you have any musical skills at all, please consider joining. If we\’re lucky, we\’ll start being able to have live local music at milongas!
Amalia Restucha will be hosting workshops and weekly classes taught by Facundo Posadas of Buenos Aires throughout the month of February. For details, please contact her at amalia_restucha@yahoo.com.
Further out, I will be hosting Alicia Pons April 16-23, and am making plans to host Brigitta Winkler sometime in October. Gulden Ozen will be hosting Tomas Howlin sometime in June.
Stay warm!
