Remember the Little Prince? The boa with an elephant inside (which is
NOT a hat, by the way)? The rose? The fox?

Well, here is the plan: this Sunday at noon we get together - bringing
along some food and drink to share, and READ the Little Prince by the
fireplace. Yes, I invite you to my home to read along the Little
Prince. We'll eat and we'll also dance later.

Welcome Fabian Salas & Lola Diaz!

Many of you have registered for the weekend of workshops with legendary
milonguero Fabian Salas and his amazing partner Lola Diaz, but there are some
slots still available. Fabian and Gustavo Naviera initiated the Nuevo tango
movement in the eighties through years of painstaking research and hard work.
They moved this great dance from the static realm to a dynamic art and opened
many new avenues for us. Today, tango enjoys massive success due in large part
to the work of these two maestros. Don't miss a rare opportunity to take lessons
from these great instructors and from Argentina and also watch them perform.

Fabian is also the founder and organizer of the largest tango festival in
Argentina, CITA. Now in its 12th year, the event brings in hundreds of dancers
from all over the world to Buenos Aires from March 14-21. The instructors at the
festival are in the top category in the world and it is a reflection of how much
importance Fabian puts into the quality of workshops.

As a special thank you to all of you who have supported us over the past year,
we have instituted a program whereby you can register now and pay in cash at the
studio during the workshop weekend.
Dates: Friday, 4 December 2009 - Sunday, 6 December 2009

Hi,
I'm thinking about heading to Chicago this weekend for the milonga Friday and
staying for the Saturday classes.  Anyone else going?
