In September 2006 the group was invited to give a demo and short introductory class at the Plaza Club in San Antonio. Frank, Anglea, Roy, and Kathleen participated.

In 2006 a new Tango instructor visited us from New York, where he has a studio: Carlos Cañedo. He participated in the original WIP performance at the Jump Start, did a demo with Angela up in Austin at Copa, and gave a workshop at the Jazzercise.

Carlos took part in the original WIP ("Wednesdays in Performance", or "Works in Progress": a series of performances held at Jump Start Performance Co.). His selection of a hip-hop piece for the music inspired the group to explore other modes of dancing the Tango. They went on to perform at the "WIP Creme", which is a "Best of WIP", this time without Carlos, for that year and the next. Here are photos from the first performance, the one that started it all.

One of the local Tangueros, Steve Brown, had noticed that nights there was a lot of activity around the central plaza, or zocalo, of Mexican towns and cities, and thought it would be a good idea to dance some Tango in San Antonio's own plaza, in front of the Cathedral. He had tried something like this before and encountered police attention. Evidently it is not permitted to use the plaza in such a manner, without first contracting it and paying a sum. Since this had not been done for this occasion, the proceedings were carried out under the vague threat that there might be intervention from law enforcement agents, and possible action taken against the participants. Nevertheless, a few brave people dared to help Steve live out his fantasy before he left San Antonio to find a new home in Vancouver, Canada. The results are documented here.
