FESTIVAL VOLUNTEERS MEETING AND BBQ/POTLUCK! Less then 6 months until the Tucson Tango Festival gets under way and we are busy finalizing all the arrangements. We invite Volunteers - past, present and future - to join us this Friday, October 15 at 6:30pm for an Orientation Meeting. The weather is great so we will BBQ/Potluck and set up an outside dance floor for the Milonguita. We will provide some meat, bread and side dishes - feel free to bring your favorite dish to share. Please RSVP so we can ensure we have enough food! We will review the festival program and details and what volunteer opportunities and benefits are available. The Milonguita will follow the meeting at 8pm as usual. With enough encouragement I might even make a Pavlova! (Location: 3305 N. Pebble Rapids Place, Tucson, AZ)

A Tango Experience with Brigitta Winkler
November 12-16, 2010
Brigitta is an incredibly gifted teacher of Argentine Tango. With a degree in Body-Mind Centering and over twenty years of experience teaching and performing tango around the globe, she is one of the most inspiring and innovative artists in the tango world today. In class, she has the knack of unlocking her students' creativity and making tango fun and exciting at any level.
In the early 1980s, Brigitta discovered tango in Buenos Aires, studying with such legendary dancers as Virulazo, Juan Carlos Copes, Antonio Todaro, Pepito Avellaneda, Gustavo Naveira, and Eduardo Arquimbau. Her studio, Tanzart, has been a pillar of the tango community in Berlin, Germany since 1987. Most recently, Brigitta collaborated with four other women to create the internationally acclaimed dance company "Tango Mujer," weaving argentine tango together with contemporary dance and theatre for sold-out audiences in NYC and Berlin in 1998, and on tour in the US in 2000.
