3180 North American Tango Festival Season About to Start	ARTICLE INDEX
Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 11:30:02 -0600 From: Stephen Brown <Stephen.P.Brown@DAL.FRB.ORG> Subject: North American Tango Festival Season About to Start The North American tango season is about to get underway with ValenTango in Portland, Oregon. The season extends through November with Fandango de Tango in Austin, Texas. Some of the festivals are new, but many are annual events. Some of the festivals emphasize social dancing and some feature big-name instructors. Either way, the primary advantages of these events are many hours of social dancing, an extensive class schedule with quality instruction, and an opportunity to meet and dance with tango dancers from all over. Many of the events are surprisingly affordable.

Returning instructors are Robert Haulk, Barbara Durr, Robin Thomas, and Jennifer Bratt. Emphasis on Social Dancing with meals, milongas, and more, all for affordable price. I'll be tweaking last year's schedule and price, see last years at www.thelearningdepot.com/murrays-1. I only have room for 60 couples dancing, so if enough seasoned dancers enroll, there won't be a beginner track or spectator seats sold. But to offer a side bar for show... There is a new community theater one block from me, called The Horseshoe Theater, a theater in the round, for plays and performances. I have reserved their stage for extra classes and private lessons on Sat.day. Would you like to do a performance for their Sat night entertainment? I am against scheduled performances during a milonga, most want to dance, not watch. But, for a captive audience, we could show them a few cool moves. If you are coming and want to volunteer one number for the Horseshoe as a sidebar, let me know. I guess this is an advertisement, but Steve put it here, so did I. And thanks, Steve, for reminding us we have truly expanded our tango possibilities. Karen Continue to dancing with a couch? \| ARTICLE INDEX
