<FONT FACE="Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>BEYOND TANGO, LLC (that recently changed it's name from Exotic Tango Vacations) is a company that offers the adventure of multicultural experiences with the boundless learning of Argentine tango in all of its expressions.<BR>
>From the hill towns of Italy and the mystic crusader trails of France to the native indigenous volcano country of Guatemala to colonial jewels of Mexico; our tango travel explores smaller communities with rich history.<BR>
<BR>
Hawai'i and British Columbia, are other places we have taken tangueros on mouth watering, never to be forgotten odysseys.<BR>
<BR>
The teachers we choose are masters of the tango world, and we travel together in vacation mode. Unless the trip is a larger festival occurrence, the teachers each only one and a half hours a day committed to teaching, and so they also benefit from hours of relaxation, fun, and discovery.<BR>
<BR>
The next trips scheduled are: PASSION OF THE AMERICAS TANGO AND JAZZ FESTIVAL, in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico Nov. 1 thru 5.<BR>
A fantastic time with our own orchestra imported from Europe and South America, teachers are: Hsueh-tze Lee, Cecilia Gonzalez, Eduardo Saucedo, and Paulo Araujo. The events include ghost town, pre-hispanic orchestra concert, hot springs, mariachi tango milonga, MANY MORE parties, lectures, milongas, classes, events. Mostly intermediate and advanced classes, with some beginner.<BR>
<BR>
TANGO BY THE SEA: Jan. 21-28, 2007. Our annual sun drench in January, in a tropical paradise at a jungle eco-resort near Puerto Vallarta. Sea turtles are hatching, whales are migrating; horseback ride, snorkel, dinner and shop in Vallarta. Sip a margarita at sunset from the tango seaside studio without even having to go to your room to change. Heaven in a coconut shell! Cecilia Gonzales wants this teaching position every year, but other teachers not yet chosen. All levels of dancer welcome.<BR>

TANGO CLIMAX:<BR>

</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial">Last May, the mayor of the little Brazilian town of Esperantina announced Orgasm Day as May 9!<BR>
Inspired, I decided the time had come for this particular offering of climactic tango: several days in Buenos Aires, a couple of days in Montevideo, Uruguay, and several days in Mendoza at an extraordinary winery/lodge/chef’s school where we take over the wine cellar as our milonga and creative movement habitat.<BR>
If you are an advanced dancer of Argentine tango, the chances are great that you have been to Bs As not just once, but several times. We will cut the ties with the addictive city to make our halfway house in this gorgeous countryside estancia, with the Andes mountains as part of the view.<BR>
Then, if you want to spend more time in Buenos Aires or head off to Brazil for more of the big “O”, you can stay as long as you like.<BR>

TANGO QUETZAL: August, 2007. Eight days of mystical serenity and kaleidoscopes of color in the Guatemalan highland destinations of Antigua and Lake Atitlan.<BR>
Antigua Guatemala has wonderful restaurants, architecture, shopping, and a peaceful, restful ambiance. Filled with surprises and treasures, Guatemala is astoundingly beautiful. The town of Panajachel at the Lake A. is another wonderful small town, with boat access to cross the lake and explore the villages on the other side. The lake is called by many “the most beautiful lake in the world” and indeed, ringed by volcanoes and dramatic sky, it is astonishing. <BR>
Our hotel, Hotel Atitlan, is a sophisticated and original luxury lodging with our dance studio right by the lake. See links with the page below.<BR>
