If you haven't sent in your registration yet, do so immediately to
obtain valuable discounts for the highest quality tango. Weekend,
festival, and day passes will NOT be available at the Fiesta.

Registration is running much higher than in previous years, so you
will be joining a lot of other people who will enjoy this great tango
festival. Experience the 3rd Annual Close Embrace Tango Fiesta
firsthand instead of hearing about it from your friends and regret
missing it. If you mail in registration, our PO Box is in the downtown
Urbana post office off Lincoln Square, but you can also give us the
registration forms before or after our tango classes at Phillips
Monday and Wednesday (classes are 8:30-10 PM).

Complete Fiesta details and registration forms:

http://www.centraltango.com

DJ Fundamentals Workshop

ever wanted to be one, take this workshop (Sat 11:30 AM - 1 PM, $20).

this is a rare learning opportunity. We are reaching capacity on this
limited registration workshop, so register now before we close out
registration.

Sunday Milonga / Barbecue Dinner
- This is also not part of the Fiesta Pass, but you will be hungry
after the Sunday workshops and you will want to dance, so why not
