1) Next LA MILONGA BUCKEYE (and another)
Our next milonga will take place on Saturday, May 13th, 9:15pm, at Memorial in Ohio Union. I hope to see many people to dance and enjoy good conversations with. There will hopefully be a surprise guest, Julio, who dances "with much experience, virtuosity and grace", and a surprise idea.
We are planning to hold another milonga on May 27th at Memorial too.

Someone who attended John Devlin's class gave us a very nice feedback:
"Jon Devlin's class this past Wednesday was informative and enjoyable to say the least. Jon provided us with some historical background about tango styles that made the process of learning much easier and interesting. He expressed the importance of developing a deep sensibility and a sense of refinement in order to avoid performing the steps mechanically--"we must dance from our heart" he said. Jon paid close attention to the students, and gave suggestions that catered to their needs. His focus on the elegance of body movement shows Jon's love for Argentine tango and commitment to excellent teaching."
Yuval expresses his gratitude to Robert for replacing him on the May 7 Sunday 6pm class, and recommends to the students to savour Robert's virtuousity.
Speaking of Robert, he starts next week, May 9, a new class on Tuesdays, 7pm, at SCARLET K room of the Ohio Union (NOT at Memorial). Please check http://tango.osu.edu
3) Tango Blog
Yes, we have finally launched an arena to blog! (If you don't know what BLOG is, check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog) This is a way to connect to each one of you through our love of Tango. Please share your thoughts/comments or stop by any blog postings just to say hello: http://tangoosu.blogspot.com/ There is a link on the homepage: http://tango.osu.edu I have already posted a couple, so please check them out!
4) A Book about the Art History of Argentine Tango
As the person who commented on Jon Devlin's class, historical & cultural knowledge of Argentine Tango could deepen your experience of dancing. There is a book called Tango: the Art History of Love by Robert F. Thompson which has been recently published. Maybe you know it already from the show on NPR (Afropop) the other day? If not, you can read the entire (I think...) interview with Thompson to sneak-peek at what it's about at Afropop's website: http://www.afropop.org/ (The link is under "INTERVIEWS" but you can do keyword search with "tango" or "Thompson.") I haven't read the book yet, but there seems to be plenty to learn from it.
