The 2011 event will again be held at the Westin O’Hare. It is located
next to Chicago O’Hare airport and has the following advantages:

- Free 5-minute all day shuttle service to and from the airport

- A five minute walk to the CTA Blue-line train station that goes
directly to downtown Chicago

Here are the workshop and milonga highlights:

- Registrants with full passes can take up to 11 workshops over 3 days

- There will be five late-night and all-night milongas from Thursday
through Monday (which is a holiday in the US)

- In response to many requests for separate seminars; we will have two
special all day seminars on Monday, 4 July for couples only. These
seminars will be for advanced dancers. Corina and Julio will teach one
seminar and Karina and Horacio will teach the other one. Registration
for the seminars will be separate from the festival and they are not
included in the full pass. Details available on the website, click on
the registration link.

We hope to see you at the Westin.

cheers,
Shafqat, Maria and Gözde
