Sorry this is so late, my new email address was mispelled in my first attempt to post.
Dear Friends, You are cordially invited to my first milonga at Murray's, Sat., October 21 in Mt Vernon, Missouri. I have asked Daniela and Armando to officially usher in tango to Southwest Missouri. They give a great performance tango and are excellent teachers of social tango. ( And, I wanted them to see their picture in glass.) If you're unfamiliar with them or their work, type in Daniela and Armando at Yahoo and see 1030 articles of their accomplishments. My plan is to start on Oct. 13th during the festival of Apple Butter Making Days, luring the crowds into Murray's with a tango show and brief introductory lesson. The festival lasts the weekend and hopefully I can sign up lots of people for nightly group lessons during the week. The week's classes and practicas will culminate in a Grand Tango Ball on Sat night the 21st for tango participants and invited guests, that's you. Here is where we need to show what a real milonga is like. Here is where I need your help. All will be beginners and you have been there. You are welcome to attend the classes. You can be volunteer assistants or practice your basics. If you are a beginner, "Come on down." Hopefully in the future I can offer Tango home lodging, but for now the motel rates aren't too bad. They will be booked for the Apple Days, but should be available after the 15th.
