Dear Tango Friends: Two more weeks to the beginning of the Second Southern Tango Social, to be held in Atlanta, April 6th to 9th. This is an update of the program, as well as some useful information for the people attending the festival.
As usual, we encourage everybody to visit our webpage (www.atlantatangofestival.com) for more information. See y'all here in two weeks. Alan Forde Angel Montero REGISTRATION: We will have a registration table set up at the hotel as early as Thursday afternoon. If you pre-registered, we will have a festival package and pass premade for you. The festival package will include all necessary helpful information for a pleasant stay and experience at the festival. Also, on site registration for passes or individual workshops or milongas will be available at the registration table (only cash or checks). People from the Festival organization (white badges and/or festival T-shirts, look for them) will be available to answer any question and help with any doubt you might have, including directions to local restaurants and coffee places. MILONGAS: We will have seven milongas, starting Thursday night and ending Sunday night, or probably early Monday morning. A Milonga Pass is just $35. Thursday 8:30pm-12:00am Dinner and Tango at Carpe Diem. This is a regular event in Atlanta (always the first Thursday of the month), and I have the pleasure of being the DJ. The restaurant is located 0.8 miles from the hotel. we will ask local dancers to pass by the hotel on their way to the restaurant and give rides to out of towners. Last year this option worked perfectly, and we are sure that the Atlanta community will show their hospitality again. In any case, you can take a pleasant walk to the restaurant.
