Date: May 6th 2008

Dear friends,

From 23 to 27 May, we are very glad to be hosting Javier Rodriguez and Andrea Misse for the second time! They are two of the most exciting traditional Tango dancers of their generation, and they have already been dazzling the world Tango scene for a number of years. Furthermore, both Javier and Andrea are wonderful teachers - fun, precise, energetic and humble with the ability to impart their deep understanding and love for Tango and its music easily to their students.

Just for your information, it is always a privilege to be able to "steal" time out of their busy tour calendar, since they are very much in demand. I hope that you can be inspired as much as we were and not miss out on learning from the two of the best!

For those who did not have the chance to meet them in Singapore last year, here are additional thoughts from friends in Hong Kong of the impact Javier and Andrea had on their community:

The cut-off date (9 May) for Early Bird Specials is fast approaching. We hope that you can take advantage of the attractive rates, which despite the escalating exchange rates we are desperately trying to keep affordable to the Tango community.
