Hola a Todos ~

Another big WOW!!! ~ Thank you everyone for turning out in force for our weekend with Junor Cervila.

More than 50 people attended the Saturday afternoon workshops which were splendid and quite successful dance-wise.
There is no one like Junior!

However, for the first time ever in nearly five years, I had to turn people away because of limited space and I am so sorry to those who wanted to come but could not. But most everyone came to the milonga!

More than 80 people came to dance and listen to the fantastic music of Tito Castro & Maurizio Najt - that's a huge number for this region and indeed, dancers came from all over... Albany, Poughkeepsie, throughout the Hudson Valley, a large NYC contingent, Massachusetts and New Jersey.

What a crowd and what incredible dancing!
And as for dancing, well, needless to say I am still in tango heaven after doing the tango demo wth Junior, and in awe of the samba/salsa/tango Junior performed with his Latin Dance partner Fernanda!

This event took a lot of hard work and I want to extend very hearty thank-you's to many good friends on the WT team! ...

Patricia Fodor, Marie Bing, Tara, Ed Bloomer, Deborah Ramsden, Laura Kaplan, Brian Morgan, Terry T., Graham Blackburn

Anahy and John who came from NYC to enjoy and wound up being critical to our success!and all who brought delicious food and drink! Again, my apologies if I have inadvertently left anyone out...
