Fellow Tangueros:
Just a reminder and a few updates for the 8th Annual Portland TangoFest,
Wed-Sun Oct 13-17, 2004.
(1) I'm pleased to announce that Mariana Dragone from Buenos Aires will
be attending and teaching with Fabrizio Forti. Mariana is a beautiful
person, dancer, performer and teacher who previously worked with Hernán
Obispo and El Indio.
(2) Cut-off date for the discounted full workshop pass of $235
is Oct 6, 2004. After that the price is $265.
(3) Here's a list and web site link to three hotels and a car
rental place within a few blocks of the classes.
