Hi everyone, Just reminding you that it's NOT TOO LATE to join us in Philadelphia for an extraordinary extended weekend (May 28-31) at the Philadelphia International Tango Festival (http://philadelphiatangofestival.com)
This year's festival features arguably the most important tango teachers and performers in the world today, GUSTAVO NAVEIRA & GISELLE ANNE. Their 12-hour seminar on "Rhythm, Phrasing & Musicality" is a RITE OF PASSAGE for anyone who wants to achieve musical mastery in their dancing. The registration for the seminar has been very strong, with participants coming from more than 15 states and 3 countries. But there is still space for a few more couples. Check out the website for help finding a partner (required). There are many more great ways to participate in the festival: ** PHENOMENAL dancers/teachers Nick Jones & Diana Cruz will give seven workshops for intermediate through advanced dancers over the four days; ** The festival offers over 27 hours of practicas and milongas with STUPENDOUS DJs, including Avik Basu, Jake Spatz, Marc Hussner, Manuk Colakyan and Adam Hoopengardner, among others! ** Gustavo & Giselle will give a VERY SPECIAL LECTURE on the history of tango dancing - presented for the first time on the east coast of the US - "The Unfathomable Histoy of Tango Dancing" - before the Sunday night milonga. ** MIND-BLOWING performances will be offered each night, including a special appearance by Philadelphia's premier contemporary ballet company, BalletX. Gustavo & Giselle and Nick & Diana will perform at the Saturday night milonga with DJ Jake Spatz. This year's festival takes place almost exclusively at Christ Church Neighborhood House, a huge and atmospheric venue in the gorgeous and historic Old City neighborhood of Center City, Philadelphia. A huge overflow room will be offered during the milongas, so there will be ample space to dance. On the festival registration site, you can purchase any individual workshop or milonga, and any festival pass, until Sunday, May 24 at midnight. After Sunday, all registrations will be for individual events only, in cash, at the door. Lastly, Philadelphia boasts a REALLY FRIENDLY tango community that welcomes visitors with open arms. I truly believe you will have a wonderful time if you join us for our festival! If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Un beso grande, Meredith 617-291-3798 meredithkl...@gmail.com (note different email)
