Dear milonguero friends,

This email has a two-fold purpose: we wanted to remind you about the forthcoming closing date for the Earlybird bookings: January 18 - just a week away. Register before then to guarantee your place in the classes of your choice, at a lower fee. Click here to reach the registration page directly .

And we want to send a special farewell to a dear friend whom many of you will know passed away last week. Susana Miller wrote the following message in memory of Tete, one of Milongueando's much loved teachers:

"Farewell Tete. Today is your birthday and you're not here to enjoy it or to enliven the milonga with your inimitable mischief and innocence. Your death creates a painful absence in a community that has known your indefatigable presence throughout 6 decades. Generations have developed under your light and your angel. On the dance floor, the table with your friends, the old guard of milongueros, will watch over you as they dance, which will be a way to express the sadness and the tenderness inspired by your memory. I know that if you were here you'd agree, with that lopsided smile of yours that characterised you, as you called: change partners. Farewell Tetito."

Please don't hesitate to write with questions about the festival. We look forward to hearing from you.

Un abrazo milonguero

The Milongueando Team
