Dear tangueros,
Summer is here in earnest, and the class packages of Tango 59° are
rapidly filling up. This year's festival shows every sign of becoming
something very special indeed, and we are looking forward to meeting
you in Stockholm between August 8 and 13.
For those of you who have as yet not booked your package, we would
suggest that you take a look at the following packages, where there
still is a small number of couple places left:
Package T (all four couples) [level 2] - if you're fairly new to
tango
Package V (Bouscasse/LeCocq, Rydén/Uldall) [level 3] - medium
advanced
Package G (Rydén/Uldall, Mazer/Farfaro), [level 3] - medium advanced
Package L (Mazer/Farfaro, Arce/Montes) [level 4] - advanced
Package M (Arce/Montes, Bouscasse/LeCocq) [level 4] - advanced
As always, couple bookings take precedence over single bookings, so
if you can, grab a tango friend and sign up together. You can of
course sign up as a single, but in some cases the waiting list for
followers is very long, which makes it unlikely that you will get a
place unless you actively involve yourself in finding a partner. If
you find one, your booking will automatically take precedence, no
matter which place you hold on the single's waiting list. So if you
have signed up as a single, don't stop trying to find a partner.
Package T and V, though a few places for couples still are open, have
particularly long waiting lists for followers. Instead, we suggest
you take a look at Packages G and M, where the currently are no
followers on the waiting list. However, mind the levels - these are
advanced levels - and don't book above your level. Please refer to
http://tango59degrees.com/levels.php for information about the level
system.
The following packages are now fully booked:
Package Y (Bouscasse/LeCocq) [level 4]
Package E (Mazer/Farfaro) [level 5]
Package S (Arce/Montes) [level 5]
There is of course also a large number of workshops - 25, to be exact
- and each package (except package T) includes a free workshop. For
availability of places, please login to the website.
Advanced followers: there is one single leader available on Workshop
23, "Advanced Milonga con Traspíe" with Bouscasse/LeCocq. First come,
first served...
Regarding Evening Milonga Passes: if you haven't reserved your
milonga pass, you should try to do so as soon as you can, as they are
limited in number. There will be tickets available at the door of
each milonga, but we expect full houses every night. So make sure you
have a place at the most festive milongas in Stockholm, featuring the
world's most renowned tango DJ, Mario Orlando from Buenos Aires,
Ensemble Hyperion (and another orchestra whose identity soon will be
revealed), and of course the teachers and participants of Tango 59°
Stockholm City International Tango Festival 2006.
Don't wait too long. Book your places now!
