Dear Tango-A List, For those of you not familiar with the Seattle skyline, our TangoMagic poster created by Christopher Gronbeck may look a bit strange. (To view, go to www.claysdancestudio.com and click on Seattle Summer TangoMagic.) However, this event will be anything but strange. In fact, it will be magical. Our mission--should you choose to accept this assignment--is to "Spend a magical romantic summer weekend together in the Emerald City dancing tango at two different elegant historic ballrooms, a beautiful lake side park, a harbor side restaurant & bar and various other venues"
Towards fulfilling this mission, we will have: a) Great music--Conjunto Berretin Orchestra from Portland on Saturday evening at the Grande TangoMagic Ball, b) Great DJs--Alex Krebs & Megan Pingree from Portland, Jaimes Friedgen and John Isley from Seattle, Dan Boccia from Alaska and Ramu Pyreddy from Ann Arbor, c) Great venues--Century Ballroom, Velocity Ballroom, Washington Dance Club (formerly the Avalon Ballroom), the Polish Club, and a Seattle nightclub. d) Great teachers--Alex Krebs from Portland and Hsueh-tze Lee from Boston, e) Great vendors--Terra Shoes and Yolanda Rossi Tango Dresses, f) AND the "tour de force"-- a free Sunday Sunset Milonga/Potluck on Beautiful Lake Washington at the Marina Park Pavilion in Kirkland (10 miles east of downtown Seattle).
