[Tango-L] let me be the first to say,Chicago was the best

[TimmyTango@aol.com]

My thanks and kudos go out to Ray Barbosa and Marco 
for putting on one of the best organized, Best instructors, Best weather, 
Best Milonga shows, Best Everything. the weekend was Absolutely flawless.

For those who weren't there Tete and Silva were the big Stars of the show. 
People can far and wide to see this icon. This prodigy. But I honestly have to 
say 
Oscar and Mary ann Casas stole the show. Here is the new kid on the block who 
a lot of people didn't know anything about. But Oscar knocked their socks 
off. Plain and simple. Oscars techniques really made tango a whole lot simpler 
for those learning.

At the show on Saturday night Tete and Silva danced their best, getting 
standing ovations from all. But everyone was amassed when Oscar and Mary ann did 
their milonga Traspie. You will just have to wait to see it on Youtube for your 
own critic of it. The words to describe their dance are not in my vocabulary 
and I would have to invent new words to do the job. Maxi Guzman and Milva 
Bernardi was also suburb and taught very well. Their classes were always well 
attended.

What also made the festival great is that there were also classes in where 
Ernest Williams taught Canyengue, and Daniel Noce and Ramon Nita taught 
Chacarera for those people who wanted to attend.
There were great DJs that made the milongas special
Saturday was Silva
Friday Robert Hauk really did a wonderful job, plus Somer Surgit, and 
Christopher Everett
And on Friday night we had live music from Alma de Tango Quartet.
Absolutely all the bases were covered.

Joanne and I were given the finest welcome from everyone there who we danced 
with and who we taught in the beginner classes we taught. I also felt the Ray 
did a great job making the beginner classes free to any one who wanted to try 
the tango to help build the community in Chicago. 

Great Job Ray Barbosa, and Marco
