Fandango de Tango, November 26-30, 2003

**Pablo Pugliese will be dancing with Shiwa Noh.
Here's a bio of Shiwa.
Born in South Korea, Ms. Noh began dancing at the age of five,
studying traditional Korean Dance.  Later, she also studied ballet,
modern, and jazz.She graduated from University of California,
Irvine receiving a BFA in choreography and she has worked with
various modern choreographers such as Bella Lewitzky, Sean Greene,
Donald McKayle among many others and has been performing her own
works in NYC.  She has been teaching Gyrotonic Expansion System
for the last 6 years.

Most recently, she has embraced Argentine Tango as her own medium
of expression.  She participated as a guest artist at Boston's 2003
First Night and worked with several tango shows with choreographer
Hector Zaraspe, performed with Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, at
Hollywood Bowl with LA philharmonic Orchestra and Romulo Larrea
Tango Ensemble at the Orange County Performing Arts Center.

**The Sunday classes will not be review classes.  They are
another set of new and different classes.  The Sun classes are
open for registration.  We have previously designated them as
review classes.  They will not be review classes.  Instead,
they will be another day of new interesting ideas, techniques,
and insight into improving your Tango dance.

** We have added Jason Laughlin to our list of guest DJ's Jason,
with his partner,Gulden Ozen has been teaching private lessons,
group classes and workshops in the North Carolina Triangle area
(Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill-Carrboro).  Jason has been dancing
Argentine tango for 6 years.  There first instructors were Matej
Oresic and Metin Yazir.  Jason has taught as a "Baila Tango"
instructor from 1999 to 2002 and in 2003, he started his own
school, Tangophilia, in the Triangle, NC. He has contributed
substantially to building up the tango community in North Carolina
as an instructor and as a voluntary community member.

It is a pleasure to include him in our list of DJ's which also
includes Alex Krebs of Portland, OR and Stephen Brown of Dallas,
TX.  For more information about Jason Laughlin, his approach to
