Tango de los Muertos is fast approaching...and we're getting so excited about it!
You have just over 24 hours to pre-register for workshops, if you haven’t done so already! Workshop pre-registration closes tomorrow, Saturday October 10th. Pre-registration for milongas only will continue until October 22nd. Register here: http://www.tangodelosmuertos.com/register.html It will be possible to register at the door for any open workshops and milongas. However, all at-the-door registrants for both Intermediate and Advanced workshops must register with a partner in order to help keep the workshops balanced. Lodging The Hyatt Place hotel is now completely sold out for Friday and Saturday. We’ve arranged a special festival rate at two other hotels that are just a short drive away, but call soon if you’d like to book a room! Not only are these special rates only available until October 16th, they’re also subject to availability. Check out the Lodging page for more information: http://www.tangodelosmuertos.com/lodging.html Limited housing is also available with local tango dancers. Please note, though, that if you stay with a local we hope that you can rent a car! Getting to the festival venue is difficult without one, since public transportation is limited and stops running from about midnight to 6am. Go to the Forum page for information on requesting local housing: http://www.tangodelosmuertos.com/forum.html Folkloric and Beginning Tango Workshops Added The MIT Tango Club and Springstep are hosting workshops during TdlM to supplement the workshops offered by Tango de los Muertos. These workshops are separate events with their own pricing and registration and are not combinable with Festival Passes. The MIT Tango Club will host a Beginning Intensive on Saturday and Sunday with instructors Mitra Martin and Stefan Fabry from Los Angeles and Rebecca Rorick Smith and Eric Lindgren from Portland, Oregon. If you have friends in the Boston area who've been wanting to start tango, this will be a great time to start! Go here to find out more <http://www.tangodelosmuertos.com/MITbeginning.html>. Springstep will host two Argentine folkloric workshops, Malambo and Chacarera, with Pampa Cortes of Forever Tango before TdlM opening milonga on Thursday. More information, including registration, can be found on the Springstep website <http://www.springstep.org/?q=programs/moredanceandmusic/argentine_folkloric_dance>. And...The Game We are planning something special, “The Game!” that will span the entire festival. Details will NOT follow! All you need to do is show up and try to figure out what the Halloween is going on! Is it a scavenger hunt?...a mystery?...a riddle?...a trick or a treat? Where and when do you start and where and when does it end? (Oh Yes, we do hope these questions will keep you up at night!) We hope to see you soon! :) Abrazos, Tova & Carlos MorenoTango www.TangoDeLosMuertos.com
