Subject: Argentine Tango Tour and more
I'm writing to you because of your interest
in Argentine Tango. I'm helping my friend,
Ken Delmar, who used to be a professional ballet dancer.
Ken has an interesting history. He was hyperactive
in school and was kicked out of grammar school
because he couldn't sit still. But then he found
dancing and dancing "saved his life." He poured
himself into dance and became a full-time, professional
ballet dancer. But then, later, he decided to devote his
life to Argentine Tango. Ken is now the head of San Francisco
Tango. ( www.SanFranciscoTango.com ) (see also www.tangosf.com )
San Francisco Tango is sponsoring a Buenos Aires 2000 tour on December 7 -
18, 2000
If you know of anyone who might be interested in the tour or in
learning Argentine Tango, please pass this information along.
For more information, you can Ken Delmar at 415-468-7777 or visit
www.SanFranciscoTango.com
Here' a comment about a previous tour:
"Our Buenos Aires Trip
was a thrilling, overwhelming rush
for the senses. The soulful beauty of
the city seemed to seep into my bones.
San Francisco Tango's tour was a total
tango immersion. The teachers were
brilliant and charming; the Argentine dancers
stunning in their subtlety of movement and delicacy
of musical interpretation. I could have stayed a
year and am already plotting my return.
Ken was terrific as guide, teacher, and our personal
bridge to this fascinating world. I recommend this
experience without reservation to all who love
tango and long to absorb its essence."
Jo Ann Whittington
"Not a day goes by that I don't relive at lease one lovely incident
while touring with Ken in Buenos Aires... This tour was
glorious! The people are magnanimous. The reasons
being that Ken with his charm and charisma has established
such wonderful rapport with the Tango Community that they
welcomed us with warm hearts and open arms. They love
Ken.
Mis Lagrimas regaron el suelo (my tears watered the floor)
of the mini bus all the way to the airport when we parted from Buenos
Aires...
--Dolores Kestler.
"From the moment we landed to the day we left, Ken immersed
us in the world of Tango. With their many friends and contacts
with the best, our days and nights were filled with private lessons,
practicas, and of course, the clubs. Over wonderful dinners I
remarked more than once that there was too
much to do and that I was very glad I had
decided on a tour versus attempting to
negotiate the labyrinth of the tango scene
alone! The tour was not only worth every
penny, the experience is one that I will keep as
one of the best adventures of my life."
--Stephen Palubinskas
