Tuesday's tango links

Hey all, we are back from Nijmegen! We had a wonderful time at El Corte at the International Teachers Week! It was great to meet Dominik and Jelena, and to meet many new friends!!! We learned a lot, much more than we could have ever dreamed of. Eric Jorissen is an a-m-a-z-i-n-g teacher. And we got tons of new ideas and inspiration for new adventures in the tango world!!! So today's important link is, of course, the website of El Corte. Learn about this wonderful tango nest in the Netherlands and check your calendar for your first or next visit! Dancing in El Corte is a MUST for every tango dancer!!! Eric is hopefully coming to teach in Helsinki the 10.-11. of October, so check the website of Amigos del Tango regularly and make space in your schedule!!!
