Correction of date for Walter's birthday celebration

May 29 - Belated Birthday of Walter Monteblanco

Thanks to everyone who let me know about the incorrect date for Walter's birthday celebration in last week's newsletter.

Walter, himself, left a message saying that he hopes that we enjoyed his birthday cake on May 17, since he was in Hawaii that day and couldn't make. OK, I have been duly chastised.

We are looking forward to a bang-up belated celebration this Thursday - MAY 29, 2012. Please join us.

Our dear friend Walter celebrates a belated birthday with us after his extended world travels. If we want to see Walter and Gay, we have to catch them in between globe trotting adventures.

Walter has been teaching Argentine Tango since way before Joe and I (Sue) even knew it existed, and his loyal students wait for every opportunity to take private and occasional group lessons with him at Rogers Dance Studio in Hackensack. He comes to our Firehouse Milonga every chance he gets, and he's my absolute favorite Argentine Vals partner in the whole world. He also dances and teaches about a million other dances. His lessons are great, and everyone loves Walter's large and happy personality.

Our belated birthday celebration will be worth the wait. Gay will start the celebratory dance, I will try very hard to be next. Each of the Firehouse tangueras will have her turn, and I'm sure that some of the tangueros will as well, since Walter follows as flawlessly as he leads.

Two more important reminders

Change of Firehouse schedule for June

Starting Thursday, June 5, Firehouse Tango will begin our new schedule. For the month of June, Fran Chesleigh's beginner lesson will be 7 to 7:30 and his intermediate lesson follows from 7:30 to 8:30.

Dinner and dancing will begin at 8:30. We'll also add fifteen minutes at the end of the evening, playing until 11:15. That gives us forty-five minutes more of tango, milonga, and vals.

Let us know what you think.

Sue and Joe Dallon
