[Tango-A] NA-E, NA-W, NA-C: St Louis Festival, Dec 8-10, 2006

[Shaun Sellers]

Celebrate the winter holidays with hot tango in historic St Louis! 
This weekend will provide 3 days of not-to-be missed classes 
and dancing for experienced dancers in a friendly and intimate 
environment. 

This is a small festival with enrollment strictly limited to 
100 participants (including milongas) and gender balanced.
The atmosphere is informal and relaxed, with an emphasis on
dancing.
 
The festival has developed a reputation as a "boutique festival" 
with a high quality of instruction and with a limited number of 
serious dancers from around the country. In addition, a special 
class will be offered for teachers only. 

No beginner level classes will be offered.

Last year we had participants come from over 20 different states 
as well as from Canada and Germany, with 1/3 of the participants 
tango instructors. 

Cost: $130 festival pass (all milongas, all practicas, 6 classes, 
refreshments, pizza, beer and wine).

Full-time students: $65!

Meet me in St. Louis, Louis.
Meet me at the tango fair.
Don't tell me the lights are shining
Any place but there.

We will dance the hoochie coochie.
I will be your tootsie wootsie
If you will meet me in St. Louis, Louis.
Meet me at the tango fair.

  Kerry Mills and Andrew B. Sterling (1904)
