[Tango-L] Rampant serious misunderstandings about "Gustavo"

[Deb Sclar]

Hey Gang,

No need to guess or argue about G&G appearances in Europe. The answer is
YES, si si si, they were just touring there this May & June!

Visit www.gustavoygiselle.com and you'll see their recent European &
American tour JUST concluding this weekend in Atlanta, GA with Rhonda &
Manuel, started with Pinot's fabulous TangoCamp this May in Dusseldorf,
Germany. They went on to Athens, Greece, then Tylosand, Sweden, wrapping in
Rome, Italy. They flew from Rome to Nora's Tango Week in San Francisco, CA &
just completed 2 weeks here in Boulder, Colorado with Dance of the Heart's
TangoEncuentro 2007.

They will be returning to Europe (I believe it's Paris, France & then parts
of Tuscany, Italia & possibly more?) this October.

Here's to clarity,

To clarify: ...prior to their arrival a few weeks ago.

The price of this Gustavo seminar is about 3x normal. And 3x the price of 
the last comparable event I heard of hereabouts - Los Ocampos in London.

...are the most expensive European classes you could have chosen. Partly 
due to the 2x festival factor. Not a good example of normal, Huck.

Here's another comparison - round here, that $750 is entrance to 100 
milongas. Regular dancers don't spend that kind of money on a single 
seminar. Gustavo's customers will be almost exclusively teachers and other 
tango workers, including those just buying a CV entry for good RoI.

You're misinformed. They haven't taught workshops in Europe for years.
