[Tango-A] MISC: Nito & Elba Garcia - 2014 Summer Tour in the US - Seeking 1-2 More Organizers/Cities To Complete Schedule

[Meredith Klein]

Hi everyone,

Nito & Elba Garcia will be completing an extensive tour throughout the US
this summer. While most of the tour itinerary is already set, they have 1-2
weeks still free which they are hoping to fill with work.  I am looking for
experienced organizers who might be interested in bringing Nito & Elba to
their city in July or August.

If you might be interested, please email me at meredithklein at gmail.com and
I will send you complete information about their availability and terms.
 Please note that that is a different email address from the one I am
sending from right now.

I am including Nito & Elba's bio below, though most of you will probably
already know them.

Thanks so much!

Nito Garcia learned tango the old-fashioned way, watching his uncle and
aunt dance on a packed-earth patio in the province of Buenos Aires more
than half a century ago.  As a young man, he polished his skills in the
dance halls of Buenos Aires in the 1950s, was a principal dancer with the
orchestra of Osvaldo Pugliese, and later moved to Mar Del Plata, on the
coast of Argentina, where he continued to perform and teach.


Nito & Elba met in 1973 and both married and began dancing together not
long afterwards.  Over the past 40 years, they have become one of the most
highly respected and beloved tango couples worldwide, starring in events
throughout Europe, Asia, and North and South America. Elegant and graceful,
Nito & Elba continue to perform at the Esquina Carlos Gardel, one of the
most highly famed tango shows in Buenos Aires, when they are not traveling.

Nito and Elba won the prestigious Lobo del Mar award in 1996 for their
outstanding contribution to the arts and were presented with the "Person of
the City" award in Mar del Plata, Argentina for 1997. Nito & Elba have been
invited to teach at the CITA Festival in Buenos Aires every year and are
highly in demand as private coaches for professional couples in Buenos
Aires.
