[TSOM-Announce] TTC tango camp Minnesota update

Hello tango dancers!

In 2 weeks time our TTC tango Camp in Minnesota, June 12 -15 in Lake Frontenac Minnesota, will be a fact! We are so very excited that many of you have decided to sign up! There is a lot to choose from. We have added some events,including our midnight pancakes, make sure to take another look at the schedule on our website      www.tangoteachercoop.org  

At this point we only have 4 more slots left in the teacher in training track. And we will be closing registration for this track June 2nd. You will not be able to walk in for this track! 

For our student track you are able to walk in for classes, practicas, presentations or milongas. But we strongly suggest you register online so we can make sure that we have a leader/follower balance for the classes. 

And, if you would like to stay on campus; there are still a couple of beds available, but not that many! Villa Maria is the perfect setting to reconnect with nature, the place to contemplate your tango and, the other important things in life! If you choose to eat with us, the deadline for ordering meals is June 2nd.  The meals are good! Our community member Lynda Cannova has been putting together the most delicious and responsible meal plan.      more info about the Villa: http://www.villamariaretreats.org

We have some great presenters this year as well; In addition to guiding one of the practicas, Elizabeth Seyler will present on Friday evening: "Dancing with Pluralism", tango past and present in a world of diversity.    Elizabeth is a dance scholar and has presented about Argentine Tango around the world!        On Saturday eveningJason Laughlin, in addition to teaching 2 classes, will also present: "Truth in tango", parallels between tango and improv comedy.

On Sunday evening we are very proud to present the Hiawatha Tango Orchestra! They will be playing 2 sets of tango music for us starting at 10 o'clock. Through out the evening Mitra Martin will be our DJ. 

The weekend will be all about you as a tango dancer, and has been designed so that you can relax while learning. Optimum for your tango brain.              TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY IN YOUR HOME STATE TO PLAY, TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS, TO ENJOY TANGO IN A GORGEOUS SETTING.

There are many people from out of state and country, they will be flying in and are in need of rides to and from. We need your help:
