Dear Friends, I am already receiving registration for the 3rd Annual Meet in the Middle, August 3-7, 2006 and haven't even posted all the details yet. It's in Mt Vernon Missouri, in southern Missouri, the demographic center of the U.S. It's where we meet in the middle when we dance, it's where your favorite dance partner will be.
New this year is Thursday night added with a pre weekend warm up with Srini Visnubhotla. Srini enjoys sharing his passion for Argentine Tango on social dance floors where ever he goes and Susana Miller is his foremost teaching influences. Also added this year is a class in Canjengue, taught by Tom and Tonya Smith of Las Vegas/Buenos Aires. This is their favorite new way of dancing tango in the old ways. And back again is Robin Thomas, Robert Haulk, Barbara Durr, Jennifer Bratt and Ney Melo. The best DJs and your favorite instructors all under one roof, what a place!
