The 2010 event will be held at the Westin O’Hare. It is located next to Chicago’s O’Hare airport and has the following advantages:

- Free 5-minute all day shuttle service to and from the airport
- A large upscale hotel with 525 guestrooms and large ballrooms. All workshops and milongas will be held at the hotel so there is no need to rent a car.
- A five minute walk to the CTA Blue-line train station that goes directly to downtown Chicago
- All indoor milongas will be held on Birch Veneer Hardwood floor. Supplied by Dance America, it is assembled without screws, using a cabling system that does away with grooves and edges, resulting in a super smooth dance floor. The floor is shipped from Nashville, TN just for our event.

Here are the highlights:

- Registrants with full packages can take up to 12 workshops over 4 days
- You will be treated to the unique fusion of electronic music by Carlos Libedinsky and his award winning tango band Narcotango from Buenos Aires.
- Here is their website for you to take a peek: http://www.CarlosLibedinsky.com
- There will be five late-night and all-night milongas from Thursday through Monday (which is a holiday)
- We are honored to have our instructors Pablo Inza of Practica X, Horacio Godoy of La Viruta and Pablo and Dana from DNI Tango as DJs. For many experienced and professional tango dancers, these three venues are extremely popular in Buenos Aires.

Cheers,
Shafqat Manzur and Maria Alferov
