Hi everyone,

Tomorrow's class will finish out 'milonga month' with another week of vals.
Don't forget, we have a milonga coming up this weekend (see details below)
- it'll be the perfect place to enjoy all three of the tango styles that "make
a milonga night rich and full of flavors
<https://tango-space.com/three-tango-rhythms-keys-dancing-tango-vals-milonga/>
".

   - *Style*: Vals
   - *Musicality*: Fluid melodies and quick-quick rhythms
   - *Technique*: Creating, sustaining, and pausing momentum
   - *Steps*: 8-count with vals rhythms (level 1), cadencias/giros (level 2)
   - *Milonga skills:* Finding connection & flow

>From 6:30-7:30, we'll explore a few different fun options for circular
movement. In levels 1 (7:30-8) and 2 (8-8:30) we will continue reinforcing
our ability to work with the 3-count beat, including those tricky 1-2 and
3-1 rhythms. Level 2 will also transition to circular movements. And from
8:30-9pm, we'll have one more *🎶 *mini-milonga *🎶 *featuring both vals
and tango music.

*Since it's the last week of the month, it's also time for our 🥂 monthly
chamuyo!* 🥂  Stay after class to enjoy snacks and share your thoughts on
future class directions, or anything else that's on your tango mind.

*🎶 FYI: For Spotify users, Caminito Art Tango Archive has another great
mega-playlist
