Hola Milongueros y Tangueras: TENTH Anniversary Blast! United States Tango Congress (USTC) announces our 10th Annual Tango Fantasy Festival on Memorial Weekend and Week, Friday, May 26 through Saturday, June 3, 2006. For the first time in our history we are bringing an authentic Tango Orchestra from Buenos Aires, "Gente de Tango" (nine musicians) celebrating their 25 years together. They are known for playing the DiSarli music. Our very elegant nightly Milongas will feature "Gente de Tango" orchestra plus the beautiful Miami Beach starry evenings. They will also play at the two Masters of Tango gala dinner shows, on May 28th and June 3rd. Tango Fantasy always strives to bring you the best and always succeeds. Our faculty next year is made up of the most outstanding teachers out of Buenos Aires to train you in every style of Tango and Milonga there is. The following are confirmed: Fabian Salas and Carolina del Rivero, Osvaldo Zotto and Lorena Ermocida, Fernanda Ghi and Guillermo Merlo, Facundo and Kely Posadas, Silvia Grynt and Guillermo Salvat, "El Flaco" Dany and Silvina Vals, Guillermina Quiroga and Gustavo Rojas and "Los Hermanos Macana". This Congress is about dance. Therefore, at our last festival, we "imported" Taxi Dancers directly from Buenos Aires and they were a big hit! We are delighted the Taxi Dancers will be returning to dance with all the ladies at the nightly Milongas, and also assisting with classes during the daily workshops. This benefit is included with any of the three packages offered Our new home this year is the Deauville Resort located ocean-side on Miami Beach at 6701 Collins Ave. We held our first three Congresses there. It has large ballrooms for classes and the Napoleon Ballroom features a large stage for the shows. It's a great location for shopping, with lots of ethnic restaurants and cafés around the area. There is a full-service Walgreens store right across the street, open 24 hrs. You should make reservations directly with the Deauville Resort, tel. no. 305-865-8511 or 1-800-327-6656 at a great rate of only $105 plus tax for single or double occupancy. You will need to mention Tango Fantasy Festival in order to take advantage of this special rate. You may also visit our web site for additional information on the hotel and the festival. Our flyers have been mailed, so make your plans for the vacation of your lifetime. Pick up a registration form at your local Milonga and join us for what promises to be our bet Congress yet. I take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and help in making this 'Tango Fantasy Festival a continued success. I send everyone my best wishes for a blessed Holiday Season!
