- Weekend workshop information, etc. from Sarah Stayer:
Andrew Royal Dugas: A good friend of mine is coming into Houston next weekend (November 14) from Eugene. He's a really fabulous tango dancer. He's definitely nuevo and maybe on the flashier side of dancing but with really excellent fundamentals. He's got a background as a professional musician and a yoga instructor, so he's crazy musical and very body aware. Also, he's a really amazing teacher. Plus, it's
only a day of workshops, so it won't be too busy or expensive. Let me know if anyone's interested!
