July 4th Tango Weekend ft. Pablo Inza & Sofia Saborido
Tangeros and Tangueras
I am pleased to announce that I will be hosting, along with Blair Kaufer, Jiyub Lee and Joe Hayes, a “July 4th Tango Weekend in Seattle”. Pablo Inza and Sofia Saborido will be teaching workshops from June 30th through July 4th and performing at the Dance Underground Milonga on Saturday night, July 1st. Many of you know Pablo and Sofia from their previous work in Seattle. They are world renowned performers and wonderful teachers.
On Tuesday, the 4th of July, as part of the weekend’s events, we will have an Asado and “La Vida Independencia Milonga” at the Tango Barn in Carnation, Wa. This event is hosted by Joe Hayes and will feature live music by the Maestros Hugo Satorre and Winnie Cheung. Joe has put a lot of work into improving the floor so this should be a great event.
We have an event page on Facebook titled “July 4th Tango Weekend in Seattle with Pablo Inza and Sofia Saborido”, so please go there and let us know if you “Going” or “Interested” or leave a comment.
Pablo and Sofia will be teaching a 3 hour Seminario on Sunday, July 2nd. This seminar is for couples and has limited enrollment so if you are interested in attending contact me by email at azelig@gmail.com to secure a place. Also, Pablo and Sofia will be available for private lessons on Thursday the 30th through Monday the 3rd on a limited basis. Contact me if you are interested in taking a private lesson

I look forward to seeing many of you in the coming weeks
