Please register in advance. Due to advance ordering needed for food preparation, you will not be able to add this after arrival. As far as tango festivals go, the Fiesta is a bargain with value, not to mention Champaign-Urbana is a relatively inexpensive place to visit. We offer top notch instructors, multiple workshops at all levels of expertise, many opportunities to dance socially at milongas, as well as a variety of non-dance activities. It will definitely be a lot of fun and a valuable tango experience. There will be lots of dancers from all over the Midwest and beyond. Registration is running higher than in previous years (when we've had > 100 people), so we expect this to be our most successful fiesta to date. We look forward to seeing you at the Fiesta Fri-Mon Oct 13-15. Any questions, respond to this e-mail. Ron Weigel & Susana Vazquez Weigel Tango Society of Central Illinois Urbana IL
