SPECIAL CLASS FOR TEACHERS Friday March 30th, 7:30-9:00 PM: Brigitta Winkler and Tomás Howlin will direct one more session of their Teachers Training Network. In their own words, the goal of this special class is "to learn about the learning process. It is about how to teach. It is about networking with your fellow tango teacher colleagues. Not to be mistaken to be a most advanced tango class, not a challenging pattern technique, etc., class". It is a great opportunity to share your teaching experience with fellow tango teachers from all over the country. Given the special characteristics of this class, attendance will be limited and it is restricted to current teachers or dancers that will start their teaching career soon. RSVP as soon as you can. We encourage all teachers across the country to take advantage of this great opportunity to learn from two of the most innovative, inspiring and creative tango teachers. This class is not included in any pass for the Atlanta Tango Festival. However pricing will be as follows: With a Festival or Workshop Pass, only $15 additional, payable at the door. Otherwise, $35 at the door. (This class is not available through Paypal.) As always, we encourage everybody to visit our webpage www.atlantatangofestival.com for frequent updates on the festival latest news. See everybody here in the spring. angel montero ([email protected]) alan forde ([email protected]) --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo! Music Unlimited.
