Argentine Tango Seminars in La Manzanilla, Mexico with Michael Young and Beatrix Satzinger January 2009 |
|
It is happening again – we have planned the seminars for next January in the lovely beach village of La Manzanilla. After this year’s joyous experience we are looking forward to seeing many of you again, and also those of you who couldn’t make it. Our dance floor will once again be on the beautiful palapa roof of Nansee and Richard’s house with views onto mountains and the ocean.
For those who do not yet know la Manzanilla, start by looking up www.lamanzanilla.info/ Or watch http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=6er8yI8vTmo.

You reach La Manzanilla by bus via Puerto Vallarta or Guadalajara, or much more directly via the international airport of Manzanillo. Although La Manzanilla is really tiny, it has its jewels, e.g. a magnificent sandy beach, luscious bushes and trees, good restaurants and cafes, an art gallery, Spanish teachers, local artisan market on various days, very friendly people, and of course potholes, dogs, burros, and roosters. There are buses and taxis into the bigger towns nearby, and there is a doctor in the village. Dates and Seminar Titles:
