A rare opportunity for North Florida and the South Eastern United States!

Ney and Jennifer's dancing is the closest thing--outside of
Argentina--to that truest, most musical style of tango, the "Villa
Urquiza" stlye (made famous by Geraldine and Javier...)

The embodiment of this special concept of elegance,  they are also
fantastic social dancing teachers.

[Tango-A] NA-E: Tango de los Muertos...Coming Soon!

[Tova Moreno]

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 
.  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 
.


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

Elizabeth Olivera has been dancing and teaching tango since 2000 in her 
hometown of Buenos Aires and around the world. She has danced in numerous shows 
and exhibitions in Argentina, including "Madero Tango" in Puerto Madero, "Bar 
Sur" in San Telmo, "Taconeando" and "La Ventana" at the famous Casa de Tango.  
Elizabeth is the founding partner, artistic director and choreographer of the 
E.O.P. Tango Company, based in Buenos Aires. She is also the co-director and 
instructor of the Argentine tango school, 2 Para el Tango, at which some of the 
best known dancers and teachers in tango hold classes. For four years she 
served as an assistant teacher at the International Tango Congress (CITA) in 
Buenos Aires. >From the many great Argentinean teachers with whom she has 
formally studied, Elizabeth has developed a teaching style that focuses on 
creating an understanding   of the aesthetics, body dynamics and discipline 
that support the dancing of Tango.

Mariano Gauna began his career in dance as a child, studying Argentine folk 
dance, modern dance, and specially tango. Since 1996, he has performed with 
several dance companies and danced in the most popular tango houses and shows 
in Buenos Aires. Mariano also has toured with several tango shows in Europe, 
Asia and Latin America. His tango dancing style emphasizes in a strong 
technique, a firm and clear embrace, elegance and sensuality, without losing 
the essence of the expression of the Tango.
