The TANGO FIREWORKS 2003 class schedule is finished and up on our website so take a look: www.apurotango.com (click on the Tango Fireworks page and scroll all the way to the bottom). PLUS (contrary to some rumors being circulated) the visas for all our teachers have been APPROVED AND THEY ARE ALL COMING! That means that the Tango Fireworks festival (June 27-July 5 in Long Beach, California) will be the long-awaited US DEBUT of the brilliant innovator GUSTAVO NAVEIRA and GISELLE ANNE. We also have another debut--that of the extraordinary CARLOS COPELLO and his new partner, JORGELINA GUZZI. We've added to an already stellar faculty the dazzling DIEGO DI FALCO and CAROLINA ZOKALSKI. They join the legendary GLORIA and EDUARDO ARQUIMBAU, the brilliant MILENA PLEBS and EZEQUIEL FARFARO, the incomparable JULIO BALMACEDA and CORINA DE LA ROSA and the stunning AURORA LUBIZ and JORGE FIRPO. WOW--these people are so great I'm running out of adjectives!!! And don't forget that we will be joined for two nights by the best tango orchestra in the world today, the incredible COLOR TANGO, direct from Buenos Aires. We have added more classes to our schedule. Now we will have 20 classes per day for six days--four 1-1/2 hour sessions with a choice of five classes per session. PLUS, on the final day we will have three class sessions with a choice of five classes per session. That's a total of 135 classes, plus nine practicas, two daily warm-up/wind-down classes, eight milongas and the Gala Closing Night Dinner, "Noche De Estrellas Show" and Grande Tango Ball with Color Tango. Registration packages are available for Weekend One, Weekend Two, or The Whole Shebang (entire week, including the two weekends). Don't miss this FIRST CLASS event held at the beautiful Long Beach Hilton Hotel ($129 per night, single or double) in the heart of the Long Beach Renaissance marina district.
