Dear Milongueros y Tangueras: A week has gone by since the 12th Tango Fantasy Festival in Miami Beach concluded. As the organizer and hostess I wish to thank all who participated in the whole event and those who joined us for the nightly milongas and the spectacular show on Sunday, May 25. I also want to thank my wonderful and efficient volunteer staff who made it possible for me to once more present this Festival to you all. I appreciate the many e-mail messages sent to me with positive thoughts and full of good wishes for this yearly event. I will get to answer them all in time but please take note I had over 400 e-mails when I returned from the hotel last week. I promise I will get in touch with you. The organizing of this event throughout the year is not an easy task as many of you know. I take pride in choosing the best Argentine master instructors throughout the world. As always the 2008 faculty was made up of people at the top of their profession - Carolina Zokalski & Diego DiFalco; Roberto Reis & Vanessa Fatauros; Silvia Grynt & Guillermo Salvat; Silvina Valz & Oliver Kolker; Tete and Silvia; Adrian & Amanda Costa; Pablo & Alicia Repun and Daniel & Claudio Ponce, Los Latigos Santiagueños (considered one of the best folklore artists in the world), they brought the house down with their 20-minute presentation the night of the show! This year we had a few new ones join our teachers' line up and "bingo" they were so great! I have heard nothing but good reviews from all of you and that makes me so proud. The Tango Fantasy had four 1.5 hour classes daily, milongas every night (most into the late hours of the morning), and dancers from all over the country and the world. Because the Deauville Resort is right on the beach, many whose feet, legs or minds grew tired, took breaks to the beach or swimming pool with its beautiful surroundings. We are already into the planning stage of our next Tango Fantasy Festival 2009 and want to invite you to visit our web site for we soon will have highlights of what happened this year and updates for next year's event. Plan to come back next year and we promise you will have your best vacation ever. Tango Forever, Lydia Henson _www.tangofantasy.com_ (http://www.tangofantasy.com) (305) 275-2802
