Dear Richard and Felicia,

Thank you very much for the performance. Everybody enjoyed tango during the evening. Mr. Catena and his wife were particularly impressed.

I am sending you couple of pics and let me know if you need more.

When would you like to come to the office to receive 2000RMB?

I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

Kind regards,

Anna

Hola

superbe workshop on musicality last Sunday thanks to Richard and
Felicia working an excellent pair.

I decided to bring Lily, my friend's 8 year old daughter along. She
loves dancing. And I love tango. I've been telling her about tango
for a long year now. So she came along. (We had matching outfits...)

Well, she was brave. And picked up super fast on the musicality of
tango. She was especially serious while dancing the leader part. She
led me on the beat, the half beats, and led me to the side step
without hesitation, the whole song. She's on fire. Her mother tells
me she hasn't stopped talking about tango since then. She'll be back
in the classes (daytime.)

It's natural for children to learn languages. And dance is one
extatic intimate expressive language. It's amazing.

Thanks for having the patience to be around a child.

My husband and I had a brief stay in Beijing in
May/June/July and found this website, visited one
evening.  Hence, I registered for this group.

I read your advice on mistakes in tango - it is
well written and I am sharing it with my tango
teacher here in Buffalo, New York. We have a
growing AT community here.  www.buffalotango.com
if you are ever in Western New York.  :)

Dear Felicia and Richard,

On behalf of Bruce and Carol, I want to let you know that we three have thoroughly enjoyed the Tango lessons that we have taken with you so far.  The teaching has been excellent and extremely helpful.  We are looking forward to the next lesson.

However, there is one factor that is a bit of a concern.  As the three of us are all teachers at local universities, we are on quite limited budgets.  While the Tango lessons are relatively expensive, we believe that it is worth the cost as the quality of the teaching is also high.  However, having to pay a cover charge on top of the lesson fee is financially infeasible for the three of us.  Although we realize that the Milonga is voluntary, without staying to practice after the lesson, the concepts we learned would be quickly forgotten. 

Would you be able to negotiate with the bar so that students who pay for the class are exempt from the cover for the Milonga?  In our experience with other Tango and non-Tango dance lessons around Beijing, this has been the common practice.  We would so appreciate your help in this matter as we have truly enjoyed Tango so far and are looking forward to being able to continue lessons with you.

Thank you for your help.

Peace,

naomi
