We have some GOOD NEWS and some bad news to report concerning this summer's Seattle Tango Magic, August 11-15th, 2005.
GOOD NEWS :^) Seattle's Patricio & Eva have been hired to dance with the show Forever Tango!!! bad news :^( Because Patricio & Eva will be traveling with the show, they won't be available to teach and perform at Seattle TangoMagic, Aug 11-15, 2005. REALLY GOOD NEWS :^ <news:%5e> ) Danny Garcia (a.k.a. "El Flaco") & Silvina Valz have replaced Patricio and Eva and will be teaching and performing at TangoMagic. If you've been to the milongas in Buenos Aires, you've probably seen "Flaco Danny", as he is called. He is the "Maestro of Milonga". When a milonga is performed in the Milongas of Buenos Aires, this is the guy who does it. Silvina now resides in Paris where she teaches tango, milonga and South American folkloric dances. Danny and Silvina recently taught and performed at the Miami Tango Fantasy festival. This is their first trip to the US, so having them at TangoMagic provides us with a special opportunity to observe and learn from a Milonguero master. Unfortunately. In order to incorporate Flaco & Silvina into our teaching schedule, we have had to make a few adjustments to the schedule. Hopefully this will cause a minimum of confusion. Please go to http://www.claysdancestudio.com/TangoMagic05/TangoMagic05.htm to view the revised schedule. And...MORE GOOD NEWS!!! As you probably know, there will be a traditional Northwest Salmon Bake and Outdoor Milonga on the shores of beautiful Lake Washington Sunday Aug 14, 2005, 5:00-10:00 PM. To help you get there and avoid any parking problems, we've hired a school bus for FREE transportation. The bus leaves the Mountaineer's Building (where the classes are), drops by China Harbor (where the Post-Salmon-Bake-Milonga is) and then goes to the Marina Park Pavilion in Kirkland (where the Salmon Bake is). A schedule for the busses along with other information about getting to and from the Salmon Bake will be available at the event. We hope these changes and additions will make TangoMagic an even better event. We look forward to your continued support.
