[Tango-A] 2nd Houston Tango Festival January 22-25, 2009!

[Christina Levin]

Dear Friends,

Join us for the second annual Houston Tango Festival in January 22-25, 2009! Your support, feedback and encouragement after last year’s festival inspired us and our community. The theme for No. 2 is love. You get to express, share, fall into, admire, inspire, try, resist, pursue, avoid, define love. Whichever you choose, we want you to do it with all your heart, on and off the dance floor.

This year we are excited to offer a special Master Class Series for advanced couples taught by Horacio Godoy & Cecilia Garcia. We will also offer a Tango Immersion course for beginners taught by Ector Gutierrez. More details below!

Late bird registration ends January 12, 2009!
