SLO Tango -- (no subject)

Hello SLO Tango members,

I have always thought that learning to dance the Tango in a social  
setting is like learning a foreign language. You have to choose your  
“words’’ very carefully to avoid a confusing “marcar.”

In the e-mail I sent about changing the Los Osos Tango, I wrote:   
“For the sake of a happy marriage, we will continue with the Los Osos  
Friday night Milonga on the second Friday of the month, but change  
the Los Osos Milonga to Saturday on the fourth Saturday of the Month.”

Rich and Laura pointed out that this wording would be confusing if  
the month starts on a Saturday. In this case, the 3rd friday of the  
month will be "followed immediately
by the 4th saturday."

To be sure that the “marcar” is clear, They suggested a different  
wording: “the Saturday after the fourth Friday.”

Feel free to add your own “embellishments.”

Norm
