Don't forget the free women's technique class at the Berkeley Tango Studio

bonus Fumie will be on hand to also correct alignment.
Also Paulo is coming back in May. Privates for
couples are a priority, however it looks like there will be a few spaces
available for non-couples. If you are interested contact me asap. Hope to see
you tomorrow.

Paulo Araujo
Maestro of Argentine Tango
Returns to SF Bay Area
May 3-16th, 2005
This will be Paulo's 6th visit to the Bay area and his popularity continues to
outstrip his availability. He brings something to tango that has been hard to
find, passion and an ability to impart the true, deep essence of tango to the
students. He brings personalized attention to each individual student,
converting their weaknesses to strengths, and intuitively mining their
emotions. He has been named as the "best tango teacher" in Brazil. Read the
Portland Tango Festival website to see these accolades of his teaching: "this
man is a gem - he should be cloned" and "Paulo is AMAZING!!! He taught
something that will change my
tango substantially, he taught a concept that opens up a whole array of new
possibilities" or a recent comment "His teaching is in another dimension
altogether - it's like the difference between fine dining and eating at
McDonald's." This time we will be doing some all new workshops, so don't miss.
