[Tango-A] NA-W: Homer Ladas and the Trio Garufa in Victoria, B.C., Canada, Sept 15-17, 2006

[David Gurr]

Dance to the LIVE tango music of San Francisco's fabulous Trio Garufa, and 
take tango inspiration from workshops with Homer Ladas, in the City of 
Gardens, beautiful Victoria, B.C., Canada, September 15-17th!

Venues are top of the line. The Friday Opening and Sunday Closing Milongas 
will be in Cafe Casablanca, (http://cafecasablanca.ca/) a true and 
marvellous "Tango Bar" which brings back memories of Buenos Aires.

Homer and his partner Andrea Fuchilieri will give five workshops, and 
members of the Trio Garufa will give another two lessons (as well as a Jam 
Session), over the weekend.

The highlight of the Weekend will be the Grand Garufa Ball on Saturday, 
September 16th, with tango music played by the Trio Garufa, and performances 
by Homer and Andrea. The Ball will be held in Victoria's premiere venue for 
major dance events, the Club Edelweiss, which also has a terrific floor.

A unique aspect of this already wonderful tango treat, will be the full 
participation of the musicians, not only playing for the Grand Ball (the 
normal routine for an event like this), but also giving their music and 
insights on all three days -- to say nothing of the Jam Session on Sunday, 
which any interested musician -- amateur or professional -- can join.

Finally, the Closing "Surprise Milonga" on Sunday night will also include a 
musical bonus from the Trio.

Packages are available, and special hotel rates for travellers have been 
arranged. Prices are in Canadian dollars.
