Meet in the Middle Sept 18-20, Mt Vernon Missouri, Mark you Calendars.
Hi Friends, This is my 6th year and want to welcome you back and invite new
friends for sure. This year promises to be even better than ever. Charles
Roques has moved to Mt Vernon from New York City and is a great asset to our
teaching staff and our local tango community.
Gustavo Benzecry and Maria Olivara accepted my call for Argentine Dancers
and I am thrilled. I knew if they were so well received in Portland and if
Ray has signed them for the Chicago Mini Festival, then I couldn't go wrong.
Also this year I have invited James and Mariallan from Memphis to teach a
beginner track. I have known them for many years and they are very good
social dancers.
The price is good: $150 all inclusive, classes, milongas, practicas, 5
meals, snacks, and yes, the Ice Cream truck.
Located on the historical Courthouse Square, our venue is steps away from
the "Not So Square Art Festival" going on Saturday. We have scheduled times
to perform in the park for the art festival crowd.
Fly into Springfield MO SGF and we'll pick you up. Save a lot and fly into
a neighboring hub and catch a ride with people coming from Tulsa, Kansas
City, Fayetteville or St Louis.
Motels are inexpensive $50-60. I'll have a good tango rate for you.
Gender balance is goal. Space is limited to 120 very close dancers.
Gaia Banovich will be here with shoes galore. So bring shoe money and art
money.
