Correction to Dec. 7th posting by Alex about tango for the blind:



As the Founders and Directors for The Shimmy ClubSM and its program, You
Move MeSMTango we appreciate Alex posting the video link,
Brian Williams. Thank you, Alex! So as to better inform you and answer
any questions you may have. The organization that originated and funds the
program of teaching tango to the blind and visually impaired is The Shimmy
Club, Inc.SM a 501 (c)(3) public charity, <https://www.theshimmyclub.org>
www.theshimmyclub.org . The Shimmy ClubSM, , implemented You Move MeSM
Tango in classes for blind and visually impaired teens and volunteer
sighted teen mentors beginning in the summer of 2007. Classes for the teens
are held at the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and are funded in part by The
Children's Trust. The organization has entirely funded and made possible
this same program with adult participants with classes held at Asociacion de
Ayuda al Ciego (ASAC) in Buenos Aires where Luciano Mares has been teaching
since early 2007.

Happy Holidays!
