The Early, Early Bird Discount to the Fifth Annual Chicago Mini Tango Festival (www.chicagotangofestival.com) will expire in two weeks.
The Festival will be from April 8-11, 2010.  It will make a great Holiday gift. 

We again bring Buenos Aires to Chicago and are delighted to have Alberto Dassieu, a great milonguero, at our Festival.  The instructors for the Chicago Mini Tango Festival include Alberto Dassieu and Paulina Spinoso (Buenos Aires), Gustavo Benzecry and Maria Olivera (Buenos Aires), and Oscar and Mary Ann Casas (Buenos Aires/). Djs include Ramu Pyreddy (Washington, D.C.), Jorge Andrés (Toronto), Lampis Zalavras (Los Angeles), Oleh Kovalchuke (Kansas City, Mo), and Maria Olivera (Buenos Aires). 

The four day festival held at the University of Chicago in the classic Hyde Park section of Chicago includes the ability to select from over 20 workshops.  There will also be seven milongas (including our Saturday Argentina night milonga with wine, empanadas, and fantastic performances and our special Sunday morning “Eye Opener milonga”).  There will also be a special chat session on Sunday afternoon.
