Dear Tango friends: Less than five weeks to the beginning of the 5th ATLANTA TANGO FESTIVAL, to be held in downtown Atlanta, March 26-29, and we have some exciting news for you:
HOTEL DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MARCH 10th The hotel discount rate of $115/night (a bargain when you think we are talking about the Hyatt Regency, locals know what I am talking about) has been extended to March 10th. Reservation instructions are available at http://www.atlantatangofestival.com/venue.html If you are looking for a roommate, please let us know and we will do our best to help you.
