Summer greetings to all,
It's been ten years of tango for me. My tango history goes something like
this... I first thought tango would be a good vehicle to find a sensitive,
caring passionate partner. Now, it seems, the priorities are reversed. I now
dance with a partner to find the sensitive, caring passionate experience of
tango.
It's my fourth year to host Meet in the Middle, Aug 9-12, helping everyone to
achieve this experience I love so well. Modeled after Tom Stermitz's close
embrace festivals we've all enjoyed, I've tried to bring this same spirit of
just dancing.
I have a beautiful venue for you, it's my home, so you know home parties are
always fun. I will feed you all your meals and friends will pick you up at the
airport.
I am still working on menus, arranging a nice floor for you in the park,
putting in a new movie screen/projector for our favorite u-tube clips, and did
I mention I am WI-FI ready, thanks to Korey for setting it up when he was here.
The price is the best, $150 for all weekend/with meals. After July 9, it jumps
to $200. Only 130 will be sold and I will try to keep it gender balanced.
Motels will fill...Comfort Inn 417-466-4511, Super 8, 417-461-0230. ask for
tango rate $50-60
