Dear friends, Early bird registration for CTW 2011 will end on 17 April, to be held at the Westin O’Hare from 30 June – 4 July.
We have five passes available to suit your schedule and student discounts for all of them. This year, we are offering student discount to all full time students up to the graduate level and post-docs and medical residents. Please see the registration site for details. Here is the registration website: http://www.regonline.com/ctw11 And here is the Westin reservation site: http://www.starwoodmeeting.com/Book/CTG02A The discounted room rate of $99/night expires on 31 March. Maestros: Corina De La Rosa and Julio Balmaceda (Their only visit to North America in 2011) Karina Colmeiro and Horacio Godoy Claudia Codega and Esteban Moreno Dana Frigoli and Adrian Ferreyra Alejandra Hobert and Adrian Veredice DJs: Horacio Godoy Esteban Moreno Robin Thomas Varo Boyajyan Lung-Kuei Lin Here is an opportunity for dancers from the east, west and the middle to come together. Over the years, we have noticed how there is not much of an overlap of dancers from different geographic locations at various events, especially the two coasts. Chicago’s central location provides us with a unique opportunity to meet dancers we would otherwise not meet. Take advantage of the holiday in Canada on 1 July for Canada Day and in the US on 4 July for Independence Day and join us. We had a great turnout in the 2010 edition and would like to thank all of you for the enormous success. A warm greeting is also in store for those of you who plan on joining us for the first time. Chicago Tango Week is envisioned as an event that is energetic, exciting, fun-filled and packed with invaluable workshops. It is an also an international event with participants from North America and Europe. Our goal is for you to make new friends and have the best time of your life. Here is our festival site: http://www.ChicagoTangoWeek.org You can email us at info@ChicagoTangoWeek dot org OR, contact us using Facebook The 2011 event will again be held at the Westin O’Hare. It is located next to Chicago O’Hare airport and has the following advantages: - Free 5-minute all day shuttle service to and from the airport - A large upscale hotel with 525 rooms and large ballrooms. All workshops and milongas will be held at the hotel so there is no need to rent a car. - Discounted room rate of $99/night till 31 March - A five minute walk to the CTA Blue-line train station that goes directly to downtown Chicago - All indoor milongas will be held on Birch Veneer Hardwood floor. Supplied by Dance America, it is assembled without screws, using a cabling system that does away with grooves and edges, resulting in a super smooth dance floor. The floor is shipped from Nashville, TN just for our event. Here are the workshop and milonga highlights: - Registrants with full passes can take up to 11 workshops over 3 days - There will be five late-night and all-night milongas from Thursday through Monday (which is a holiday in the US) - In response to many requests for separate seminars; we will have two special all day seminars on Monday, 4 July for couples only. These seminars will be for advanced dancers. Corina and Julio will teach one seminar and Karina and Horacio will teach the other one. Registration for the seminars will be separate from the festival and they are not included in the full pass. Details available on the website, click on the registration link. We hope to see you in July. cheers, Shafqat Manzur and Maria Alferov Copyright © 2009-2011 Chicago Tango Week. All rights reserved. Chicago Tango Week is a trademark of Chicago Tango Week Inc.
