From Patricia Thatcher / Dear Tangueros and Tangueras,
Now is the time to register for Patricia's Buenos Aires trip next February 2007 which includes a two-night extension to Iguazu Falls and the chance to participate in the city's FREE and awesome TANGO FESTIVAL with free nightly concerts with the best tango orchestras, free classes, free outdoor milongas.... I give you plenty of information to discover "your own" Buenos Aires and make it your own unique experience. We don't go around together. I let you experience Buenos Aires like a local, not with a group of tourists who stand out at milongas and cafes. We will have a few group activities, such as a day excursion to Colonia and El Tigre and a group dinner and tango show. I do not provide taxi dancers, but tell you how to go to the milongas and get asked to dance and meet the real tangueros you needn't pay for!
My goal is to show you how to experience Buenos Aires like a local. A deposit of $350 holds your spot. All info is on my website at www.infusionstravel.com. Hotel upgrades and trip extensions are possible because as you know, I own a fully registered travel agency.

Pictures of our milonga and a video of Gato & Andrea performing are available on our new website. For photos click on Pictures . For a video of their vals (waltz) click on Videos. Gato & Andrea will finish their workshops Thursday (Oct. 10). http://modestotango.googlepages.com/
Saturday lessons continue this week; intermediates start at 11 a.m. You can build on what you learn in class, particularly Gato & Andrea workshops, with private lessons. One private lesson a month often gives more than enough material to work on; Roman is available for privates as early as 8:30 on Saturday and can often stay after class. His $70 includes the studio fee.
December in San Francisco: a show well worth our attendance. Leading Ladies of Tango opens Dec. 13 with noted musicians and dancers from West and East Coast. We can get a block of 20 tickets for $38 each; if everyone invites someone else it will help our community grow. Plan for this now and we may get several carloads.

From Patricia Thatcher / Dear Tangueros and Tangueras,
Now is the time to register for Patricia's Buenos Aires trip next February 2007 which includes a two-night extension to Iguazu Falls and the chance to participate in the city's FREE and awesome TANGO FESTIVAL with free nightly concerts with the best tango orchestras, free classes, free outdoor milongas.... I give you plenty of information to discover "your own" Buenos Aires and make it your own unique experience. We don't go around together. I let you experience Buenos Aires like a local, not with a group of tourists who stand out at milongas and cafes. We will have a few group activities, such as a day excursion to Colonia and El Tigre and a group dinner and tango show. I do not provide taxi dancers, but tell you how to go to the milongas and get asked to dance and meet the real tangueros you needn't pay for!
My goal is to show you how to experience Buenos Aires like a local. A deposit of $350 holds your spot. All info is on my website at www.infusionstravel.com. Hotel upgrades and trip extensions are possible because as you know, I own a fully registered travel agency.
February 20 to March 8, 2007 BUENOS AIRES TANGO FESTIVAL

Our weekend with Gato & Andrea was very successful. The milonga was packed, their exhibition dance was breathtaking and Victor Meneses of the Verdi club milonga came to celebrate his birthday. There were new faces at the workshops and the lessons were great. Gato & Andrea will continue with a series of workshops on Tuesday, Thursday & Tuesday (Oct. 3, 5 & 10). Information about those to follow, and on http://modestotango.googlepages.com/
During the past week we suffered with some glitches with our new e-mail system, causing a barrage of personal replies sent to the entire group. I believe we have that ironed out now, and thank you all for putting up with it.

His fee is $70, and that includes the studio fee.
