Check out our Close Embrace Tango Weekend Fri Sept 30 - Sun Oct 2
(www.centraltango.com). We're bringing part of Denver (Tom Stermitz)
and Ann Arbor (Ramu Pyreddy) to Champaign-Urbana to teach and DJ.
Simultaneous workshops at various levels. Milongas Friday and
Saturday. We could very well be the fasting growing milonguero tango
community in the Midwest. (You need to do some comparative study and
reporting to know for sure.)
