5.) Care to Tango???

This is a note we got this week from our friends in the
Tango Club:

"I would like to ask for your help on forming a group to
attend a dance show in Boston. A very famous tango company
will be in Boston for a weekend in January and we managed
to secure a 20% discount for the opening night show. We
have $44-tickets (originally $55), $48 tickets(originally
$60) and $56 tickets (originally $70). However, the
discount only applies if we can gather enough people
together. I believe salsa dancers will also enjoy the show.

Here is the advertisement from the organizer:

'Direct from Buenos Aires, TANGO FIRE offers an
unforgettable experience through the history of tango as
the world's most alluring and exciting dance! Featuring a
company of Argentina's finest dancers and musicians in its
Boston debut, the internationally acclaimed Tango Company
Estampas Porteñas takes you on a journey through the 
most seductive of dance forms. TANGO FIRE is irresistible
and passionate! Check out the show's website:
www.tango-fire.com'"
