[Tango-A] NA-W: Daniel Trenner Thanksgiving Weekend in Aspen Final Update

[Bob Howard]

Daniel Trenner Thanksgiving Weekend in Aspen

Daniel Trenner will be teaching a series of workshops in Aspen  
November 26-28. There will be milongas Friday (Nov 26) and Saturday  
(Nov 27). Workshops descriptions and schedule below.

We have arranged a rather astounding hotel rate of $119 at the four- 
star historic Jerome Hotel (http://hoteljerome.rockresorts.com/) right  
in downtown Aspen, just a half block from the workshop and milonga  
venue. Ski season starts Thanksgiving week, and $119 per night in  
Aspen at a four-star hotel during ski season is virtually  
unprecedented. It includes transportation to and from the Aspen  
Airport, and free parking if you're arriving by car. And the usual $30  
per day Resort Fee has been waived for tango participants.

Book by calling Jerome Reservations at 970 429-7616 and tell them  
you're there for tango.

We also arranged a $99 room rate for the Aspen Meadows at the Aspen  
Institute. The Aspen Meadows is about 3/4 mile from the class and  
milonga venue, and would be best suited if you're driving up to Aspen  
as opposed to flying in, although the Aspen Meadows does provide an  
hourly complimentary shuttle to and from downtown Aspen. Aspen Meadows
