PS It's nice and warm here in Florida!!! Bring some sun screen, you can
expect temperatures around 80 degrees F.


(the original details of the weekend follow)

It is with great pleasure that we announce a very special weekend of
workshops with Tango innovator, Mauricio Castro, from Buenos Aires,
Argentina!!!

This workshop will be presented on March 7, 8, and 9th in Tampa Bay,
Florida.

Tampa Bay has a very friendly and well established Tango community and we
are always thrilled to receive visitors from other areas. So if you are
getting tired of winter and would like to combine a warm weather visit with
some exciting Tango, this is an ideal opportunity to come to the Sunshine
State!

Mauricio Castro is a Tango pioneer. He is at the front of a new generation
of Tango teachers that is bringing true innovation to the way Tango is being
taught. Mauricio has taken concepts from Gustavo Naviera and Fabian Salas
and applied his own creativity to design a completely unique approach to
teaching Tango.

Mauricio is absolutely the best in the world at teaching improvisation, and
improvisation is what Tango is all about. He won't just tell you to not use
the steps in the order they were taught, he will actually teach you how to
use each movement without pre-design and teach you exercises that will truly
make you improvise.

Mauricio is the founder of a group of young Tango teachers called 'Tango
Discovery'. With their new concepts they are revitalizing the Buenos Aires
Tango scene among the current generation of dancers. Mauricio is also the
author of Tango books and has created a series of incredible CD ROMS for
teaching Tango.

Mauricio has degrees in music and in human movement and has taken this
background and developed a unique way of teaching Tango. His method uses
the natural design and movements of the body to be able to perform the
various Tango movements in a free and effortless fashion.

This will be a weekend where you will truly improve your dancing!
