thanks to everyone in the SF tango community for the support they showed to our visiting teachers this past month: Caleb and Ting of "liquidtango" from New York City. They were great teachers and wonderful people and we hope they'll come back soon and for longer the next time. Though seemingly very young, their teaching and thoughts are mature. Their technique is exacting. They have learned well from their masters Naveira, Fabian and Chicho and are carrying their teachings forward. For those of you travelling to New York City or Vancouver in the near future, these are some classes and events they are particpating in. Thanks to all Stella
