Stay tuned for updates. - 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! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuGbLLKohYE&feature=related (there's two songs on this one video- i like the second one better but both are great) Andrew's notes about his Houston visit: Hey everyone, Just a reminder that I will be in Houston in one week from Tues, Nov 10 - Monday, Nov 16!
