[Tango-A] Na-E: Oscar Casas and Mary Ann Henderson in Cleveland

[TimmyTango@aol.com]

Last April we were to have Ricardo Vidort teach tango in Cleveland.
Because of bad health he sent us Oscar and Mary Ann.
I think we got the best deal, because
Oscar gave us one if not the best workshop we have had in a long time.
Several people from Ann Arbor stayed longer than they planed to get all the 
information they could from Oscar. They will also be bringing them to Ann Arbor 
on aug 14.

In my opinion I've never seen a dancer as FREE as Oscar. Nothing keeps him 
from doing any element of tango where ever he wants, and whenever he wants. His 
improvisation skills are off the scale.
Please don't miss this excellent couple when they come Aug 15 thru Aug 21, in 
Cleveland, Ohio
