We proudly announce the El Abrazo Thanksgiving Tango Trip Buenos Aires! THANKSGIVING WEEK : November 21 - November 28, 2005
Join your hosts Ney Melo and Jennifer Bratt for a week of dancing, learning, dining, making friends, shopping and exploring in the mecca of Tango - Buenos Aires Argentina. We will share with you what we love about the city, take you to the teachers we most respect and have learned the most from, guide you to the milongas we actually go to ourselves, seat you amongst our friends, bring you to our favorite restaurants and to the stores we buy our own shoes and clothing at. This is not a trip for tourists, but for serious dancers who want to spend a week seeing Buenos Aires through our eyes and living like we do as tango addicts! Ney and Jennifer will be spending 3 months this year in Buenos Aires (November, December and January). Join us for a week during this time and experience the city as we do. Our focus will be on dancing and learning tango (and eating well!), and having the most fun possible while doing so!
