Subject: Breaking the Tango 1000

   Whereas the Dow Jones recently broke the 10,000 mark, some
   list members are anxiously waiting for the list to break 1000.
   Somebody suggested unsubscribing and then resubscribing to be
   the lucky 1000th. It won't work.

   When you unsubscribe, the list decreases by one and
   resubscribing increases the list by one, a wash of zero. Now,
   subscribing under a second name, that would get the lucky
   winner closer to 1000.

   My suggestion for the prize to the 1000th member - a gancho
   from all list members.

Subject: A special ocassion

Dear Friends,
This coming Saturday, April 17, Planet Tango is having our monthly milonga
at 449 Powell Street, 3rd floor, San Francisco. This is an extra special
milonga. Please come and join me to celebrate the birthday of my dear
partner, Alberto Paz. I will be offering cake and complimentary wine, sodas,
water and juices.
As usual, Alberto and I will give an intermediate level 45 minutes lesson at
9 PM. After the class, great music played for lots of dancing until 1 AM.
The admission  is just $5. Remember that there is safe and inexpensive
parking at the Sutter/Stockton Garage.
If you arrive before 10 PM, please come directly into the ballroom as
quietly as possible. For those of you who know the space, you know that
there is a small theater there and that on Saturday night there is usually a
performance going on until 10 PM or so.
Hope to see you on Saturday.
Abrazos,

La Mariposa, Valorie Hart
Thank you for visiting Planet Tango at,

Dear Tango Friends:

Saturday, May 8, Analia Vega and Marcelo Valera (former ''Forever Tango''
performer) will teach at La Milonga de Jeanne, 8:30-9:30 PM, 3491 Mt. Diablo
Blvd., (corner of First St. and Mt. Diablo Blvd.), Lafayette, CA.

This young couple from Buenos Aires, have a vibrant style of dancing the
Argentine Tango.  Analia and Marcelo taught a workshop in Lafayette a year
ago and were well received for their spirited dancing and knowledgeable
teaching talents.

Following the class, Analia and Marcelo will enhance our Milonga by doing a
performance for us.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience the alluring and playful moves of
this talented couple.  See you on May 8!

Jeanne

Hola, List!

While I was in BsAs in March, I took the ferry boat across the Rio de la
Platte to Montevideo for the weekend. I arrived in Uruguay with an
introduction to the renowned teacher, Omar Correa, and visited him in his
studio. Unfortunately it was a Saturday night, and the milonga is on Friday,
but nevertheless he danced with me. I also had the pleasure of dancing with
his assistant, Renato, and of observing Omar instructing a couple who just
happened by.

It was an incredible experience, one which I'll never forget. And I would
just like to inform all members of the List who may be visiting Buenos Aires,
that a weekend in Montevideo checking out tango in Uruguay across the river
is well worth the time and trouble.

Any travel agent in Argentina can arrange for a package trip for you,
including transportation, hotel, city tour, and a couple of meals. It's very
inexpensive that way. I stayed at the Hotel de Los Angeles right downtown,
and it was excellent: old, high ceilinged, marble bathroom, terrific service,
and it was the least expensive on the list of choices. Plus it was in walking
distance to Omar's, which is right off the little Gardel Square.

Check with Omar before going to confirm the milonga day: (598) (2) 902-5039,
or to arrange for private lessons. You won't be sorry.

Don't forget your passport!

Cherie
Los Angeles

My husband has found that Merci Gelle brand styling gel (by the =
tablespoon) will give him the same shine.  The -gomina- used by tango =
dancers can also be purchased in many Argentine shops here in the US.  =
(Tip:  It may not be just men who use it, as I've noticed more than one =
woman in the tango shows with the same "helmeted" shine to her short =
hair...)
