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

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

- A large upscale hotel with 525 rooms and large ballrooms. All
workshops and milongas will be held at the hotel so there is no need
to rent a car.

- Discounted room of $112/night and parking rate of $7 for both
daytime and overnight guests

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

- All indoor milongas will be held on Birch Veneer Hardwood floor.
Supplied by Dance America, it is assembled without screws, using a
cabling system that does away with grooves and edges, resulting in a
super smooth dance floor. The floor is shipped from Nashville, TN just
for our event.

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 in July.

cheers,
Shafqat Manzur, Maria Alferov and Gozde Colak
