[TANGO-L] TANGO FANTASY FESTIVAL on Miami Beach -Memorial Weekend & Week 2006

[TangoFantasy @AOL.COM]

TENTH Anniversary Blast!  
 
United States Tango Congress (USTC) announces our 10th Annual Tango  Fantasy 
Festival on Memorial Weekend and Week, Friday, May 26 through  Saturday, June 
3, 2006.
 
For the first time in our history we are bringing an authentic Tango  
Orchestra from Buenos Aires, "Gente de Tango" (nine musicians) celebrating their  25 
years together.  They are known for playing the DiSarli  music. Our very 
elegant nightly  Milongas will feature "Gente de Tango" orchestra  plus the 
beautiful  Miami Beach starry evenings.   They will also play at the two Masters of 
Tango gala dinner shows, on May 28th  and June 3rd.  Tango Fantasy always 
strives to bring you the best and  always succeeds.
 
Our faculty next year is made up of the most outstanding teachers out of  
Buenos Aires to train you in every style of Tango and Milonga there is.   The 
following are confirmed: Fabian Salas and Carolina del Rivero, Osvaldo Zotto  and 
Lorena Ermocida, Fernanda Ghi and Guillermo Merlo, Facundo and Kely Posadas,  
Silvia Grynt and Guillermo Salvat, "El Flaco" Dany and Silvina Vals, 
Guillermina  Quiroga and Gustavo Rojas and "Los Hermanos Macana".
 
This Congress is about dance.  Therefore, at our last festival, we  
"imported" Taxi Dancers directly from Buenos Aires and they were a big  hit!  We are 
delighted the Taxi Dancers will be returning to dance with all  the ladies at 
the nightly Milongas, and also assisting with classes during the  daily 
workshops.  This benefit is included with any of the three packages  offered.
 
Our new home this year is the Deauville Resort located ocean-side on Miami  
Beach at 6701 Collins Ave.  We held our first three Congresses  there.  It has 
large ballrooms for classes and the  Napoleon Ballroom features a large stage 
for the shows.  It's a great  location for shopping, with lots of ethnic 
restaurants and cafés around the  area.  There is a full-service Walgreens store 
right across the street,  open 24 hrs.  You should make reservations directly 
with the Deauville  Resort, tel. no. 305-865-8511 or 1-800-327-6656 at a great 
rate of only $105  plus tax for single or double occupancy.  You will need to 
mention Tango  Fantasy Festival in order to take advantage of this special 
rate.  You may  also visit our web site for additional information on the hotel 
and the  festival.
 
Our flyers have been mailed, so make your plans for the vacation of your  
lifetime.  Pick up a registration form at your local Milonga and join us  for 
what promises to be our bet Congress yet.
 
I take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and help in  
making this 'Tango Fantasy Festival a continued success.  I send everyone  my best 
wishes for a blessed Holiday Season!  May the New Year bring all of  you, 
continued health, happiness and prosperity.
 
Tango Forever,
