Subject: NA-C: Workshops in Champaign-Urbana Illinois
Hello dear tango dancers,
Here in Champaign-Urbana we just finished an exciting and enlightening
weekend of Argentine Tango workshops with Alberto and Valorie. They have
been just wonderful with the beginning Tango dancers here, and they really
have people pumped up about dancing Tango.
There will be six more workshops this coming Thursday-Sunday. If you are
anywhere near central Illinois, we would love to have you visit. (We were
frankly stunned a few weeks ago when Yvonne from Miami showed up at our
Saturday Milonga. She was in Dayton, looked us up on the web, and drove over.)
We're a young group, but a lot of fun.
Note that we are extending the advance enrollment discounts to anyone who
pays in advance before their workshop. For full class descriptions and fees
see:
www.prairienet.org/white-street/alberto.workshop.html
Also, come join Alberto, Valorie and the rest of us for dancing on Friday
and Saturday!
