<DIV>Summer greetings to all, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's been ten years of tango for me. My tango history goes something
like this... I first thought tango would be a good vehicle to find a
sensitive, caring passionate partner. Now, it seems, the priorities are
reversed. I now dance with a partner to find the sensitive, caring
passionate experience of tango. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's my fourth year to host Meet in the Middle, Aug 9-12, helping everyone
to achieve this experience I love so well. Modeled after Tom Stermitz's
close embrace festivals we've all enjoyed, I've tried to bring this same
spirit of just dancing. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a beautiful venue for you, it's my home, so you know home
parties are always fun. I will feed you all your meals and friends
will pick you up at the airport.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>I am still working on menus, arranging a nice floor for you in the park,
putting in a new movie screen/projector for our favorite u-tube clips, and did I
mention I am WI-FI ready, thanks to Korey for setting it up when he was here.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The price is the best, $150 for all weekend/with meals. After July 9,
it jumps to $200. Only 130 will be sold and I will try to keep it gender
balanced. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Motels will fill...Comfort Inn 417-466-4511, Super 8,
417-461-0230. ask for tango rate $50-60
