1st PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL TANGO FESTIVAL:  MAY 28-30, 2010

We are utterly delighted to announce the 1st Philadelphia International Tango
Festival, which will take place over Memorial Day Weekend (May 28-30, 2010).

The festival will feature the unusual juxtaposition of TANGHETTO, which has
been hailed as "the most seductive of the electronic tango bands," and THE
TANGO CHEESEBALLS, which are also world-famous in their own goofy way.  In case
you're not familiar with one or the other, check out the festival website
(http://philadelphiatangofestival.com) for videos that will make everything
clear.

Festival highlights include:

-- Milonga Qilombo on Friday, May 28 where THE TANGO CHEESEBALLS will present a
new choreography as well as an encore performance of "Este es El Rey."  Other
festival teachers will present Cheeseballs-inspired performances on the same
night and Lung-Kuei Lin will DJ.

-- An All-Night Milonga on Saturday, May 29 with TANGHETTO playing LIVE IN
CONCERT in the Skybox (http://www.2424skybox.com/), an exquisite 6,200
sq. ft. space.
The All-Night Milonga includes an intro lesson with Carlos & Tova
Moreno and will
be DJed by Jake Spatz.

-- Milonga Qilombera on Sunday, May 30 with LIVE JAZZ CORTINAS and DJ Adam
Hoopengardner.

--  3 Cheeseballs-inspired HUMOROUS tango workshops and 3 pedagogically-rich
SERIOUS workshops.

Teachers and Performers include:
-- Carlos & Tova Moreno;
