[Tango-A] NA-E:Tango Fantasy Festival in Miami Beach- what it entails-Still time to join!!
Hola Milongueros y Tangueras: Yes, still time to join!! There are several ways to attend the Festival, it all depends how much time you want to spend there. You can purchase the whole package for an intensive course in Argentine Tango. That gets you in to all the classes and to all the milongas (6). The classes start at 9:00 AM with Yoga, and at 10 AM every day there are 6 hours a day of intensive training with the best "maestros" out of Argentina and also our local AT couple: Pablo and Alicia... Two classes in the morning in three levels of teaching, and two classes in the afternoon with a lunch break in between. Please visit the web site for the schedule has been posted with more information, _www.tangofantasy.com_ (http://www.tangofantasy.com/) . The milongas start every night at 10:00 PM. Wednesday, May 26 is the opening milonga and presentation of all teachers. The milongas are a combination of live orchestra (Miguel Arrabal Quartet) and DJ music. You can also just show up and take any class or classes. As posted in the web site there are "daily prices" which can include the milonga or not; the prices for individual classes are there too. None of this needs to be purchase ahead of time. You can do "a-la-carte" classes, any which way you desire. The ticket for the show is the only thing that you might purchase ahead of time, especially if it is more than one or two people, but then again it is not necessary, as you can do it at the reception desk the day we open. The dinner show tickets are $85 for the people that do not purchase the "full package". For the people that purchase the "full package" the dinner show is an additional $50. The seats without the dinner are $45 and $35 depending on the seat's distance to the stage as it is in the theater. The "full package" for classes and milongas is now $575 unless you have an AD from "Reportango" magazine or other, in which case it would be $499 (early bird). If you decide to do the whole thing (full package) then I need to receive your registration form with payment before the Festival start. You can print the registration form out of the first page of the Web Site. There are incentives and discounts for groups of 6 or more. If interested, please inquire. For hotel reservation, at this point, you need to contact me and I will a rrange for your room at the discounted price. I hope this has been helpful to you. Let me know if I can answer any other questions. Tango Forever, Lydia Henson (305) 275-2802 or cell (305) 905-3935
