VENDORS AND OTHER SERVICES
The list of vendors includes, so far Shoes by Viviana, Clothes by Anne Leva and Fashion Sweaters by Ruby Regis (Atlanta's own Amy Parish)
For links to their websites, please visit http://www.atlantatangofestival.com/extras.html

Also, we will have Thai foot and leg massage with Lisa Jacobs. You might want to start making your reservations in her sign up sheet as soon as you arrive to the hotel. Times and really limited, since Lisa also wants to dance (as does everybody else).

Looking forward to seeing you here in two weeks.
