Subject: MISC: Tango Shoes
Dear List -
I have been getting so many nice notes from customers that I feel that I
just have to share them with the list. Everyone that I quote has sent these
comments as unsolicited mail and have all given their permission to use
their comments.

"I bought a pair of your "Cruzadas" at the Reno Tango Labor Day Getaway last
weekend. My dance shoes from Buenos Aires were stolen in San Francisco the
week before from my car. I have to share with everyone who has been
considering buying a pair of your shoes, that they were sooooo comfortable
that I wore them that night to perform in and they were GREAT!!! I didn't
have to "break" them in!
I thought I would never part with my BA shoes but now I am SOLD on Tara
shoes!" - S. Moon
"your shoes are like finding all the cherry lifesavers
at the top of the pack!" - R. Case
"I received my shoes a mere two days after ordering them. What a delight to
open the beautiful box and put my foot in those dancing marvels." - A.
Brierly
"I was in San Francisco this long weekend and heard two women comment as I
tango-ed past. "I don't know who she is, but she has fabulous shoes." Made
me smile. I was a mystery dancer in great shoes. Needless to say I
introduced myself and my shoes later." - E. Sutton
"The PAVADITAS arrived today and I am so awed by the beauty of this shoe!
The shoes, once someone holds one in their hands or sees them on the dance
floor, have a way of speaking for themselves. - L. Skipper
"You have made a spectacular shoe when a 3.5 heel is more comfortable than a
2.5 heel! When I want to spend 3 hours in class teaching in that shoe,
something good has happened." - E. Sutton
"The Recuerdo's came in the mail yesterday, just in time for a 3-hour
class/practica and another 3 hours of milonga the same night. They felt
okay when I tried them on at home, so I decided to wear them to class.
Well, six hours later, my feet were fine! For the first time, no bruised
bones. Sore feet, yes, but that is to be expected when you prance around on
your toes for that many hours. I think I danced better in your shoes, too.
The result, of course, is that I want more! Your shoes are wonderful, and I
received many compliments on them." - C. Ekker
"The Malena's are a dancer's dream! My feet appreciate the comfort, and (my
dance partners and) I appreciate the increased ease with which I move across
the floor. All of the compliments I receive are also a great plus!" - M.

Subject: NA-W: Julio Balmaceda & Corina de la Rosa in Colorado
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of the Tango,
Julio Balmaceda and Corina de la Rosa will begin teaching their master
classes in Denver on September 28, 2000. The registration deadline for
their classes was September 10, 2000. Many visitors who came to Denver for
the Labor Day weekend asked if the registration could be extended since
they just learned about this event, and so the registration deadline was
extended to September 18, 2000.
Please e-mail me directly if you no longer have the original e-mail with
Julio and Corina's schedule.
If you are making plans to travel to Denver, there are several people who
have extended an invitation to host out of town visitors, so please let me
know and I will put you in touch with them.
Julio and Corina's private lessons are completely booked and there is
currently a waiting list for cancellations. If you would like to be on the
list, please let me know.
Warm Regards,
Nina

"An Evening of Tango In Hollywood", Saturday, October 14th, 2000
You are cordially invited to a very special night of performances, singing,
and dancing to live music at the fabulously elegant art-deco Los Angeles
landmark, the Hollywood Athletic Club.
The Hollywood Athletic Club recalls the swanky opulence of Hollywood's
Golden Age. Tango demands sophisticated, warm, rich, even historic arenas
where its complex, emotional undertones can be expressed within a worthy
setting.
And tango with a live orquestra, in this magnificent high-ceilinged space,
may even transport you to, yes, that other legendary place: imagine yourself
at a milonga in Buenos Aires.
The evening's program includes a stage show with Chicho & Lucia, Fernanda &
Guillermo and surprise guest performances. 'Cuarteto Los Angeles' under the
direction of Pepe Mota with the special participation of 'Forever Tango's
master bandoneonist Coco Trovisono. Recording artist Martin DeLeon brings
his powerful and emotional voice to the show.
Join the many tango aficionados from around the world that will be attending
this unique event. A specially selected music program of recorded classic
tangos, milongas and valses will complement the live music between sets. A
buffet of fine hors d'oeuvres will be served accompanied by fine Argentine
wines, beer and drinks.
The gala event starts at 9:00pm sharp. Admission is $38 in advance (prior
to Oct. 10), $45 at the door (we strongly recommend you make reservations
early, as we expect the event to be sold out). Formal Attire is requested:
dress to impress. You are in Hollywood after all, and you may be rubbing
shoulders with some famous or recognizable figures of show business that
will be coming to partake in the tango experience.
The Hollywood Athletic Club has ample parking and is a short drive from the
101 fwy. and easily accessible from all areas in Los Angeles.
The Hollywood Athletic Club is located at 6525 W. Sunset Blvd., Hollywood,
CA. Please send checks or money orders to: 'El Encuentro', 4214 Bakman
Ave., Studio City, CA 91602.
For more information please call Alexis at (818) 758-9167 or Angel at (818)
