Paulo now is enjoying the beautiful weather and tango in Chicago, where he is teaching for the 4th time in 2 years. If any organizer is interested in having him instruct in your community, please contact me directly. Paulo will remain in the U.S. for at least a couple of weeks after Portland this fall. We bring him to the U.S. twice a year.

His first visit last November was only 4 days, but fortunately this time he was able to stay for about 3 weeks. Once word of mouth spread about his superb dancing and brilliantly simple but comprehensive teaching techniques, he barely had time to eat or sleep. There were constant calls and visits from new and old friends, students, and colleagues. He wishes to thank the tango community in the Bay area with all his heart for their warm generosity and support. Even though airfares from Rio de Janeiro are very expensive (it costs much more in price if you originate from Brasil than if you originate from the US - no one knows why!) he was more than able to pay for his passage and expenses. But most of all your support meant so much to him because it amply demonstrated once again that tango can warm the hearts of all who come in contact with it, whether they meet it for the first time or the thousandth time. It was an extremely rewarding to Paulo to experience this great positive feedback from all of you who came into contact with him. He hopes to return to teach in the Bay area after teaching at the Portland Tango Festival which will be October 15-19th, 2003. For information about this festival contact Clay Nelson at [email protected]. For those of you who would like to join an organized trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brasil for an intensive week of tango seminars with Paulo please contact Stella at [email protected] or call 510-655-3585. These trips are still in the planning stage, so any input is welcome. For those folks who would like to attend the 2nd World Tango Festival in Buenos Aires, Oct. 5-12, 2003, where Paulo will be teaching with Graciela Gonzalez along with many other great maestros, please contact Stella for special deals. For more information please look at the website www.worldtangofestival.com.ar or Stella's website: stellatango.com. Again, thanks for all your support and interest.
