Other Interesting & International Links:

GENERAL INFO
Ernesto has compiled a fairly extensive link site that's worth a look... members.ping.at/kdf-wien/tango/

TANGO MUSIC
This site contains tango music history, lyrics & sheet music, internet radio links, and lots more... www.todotango.com

THE NETHERLANDS
One day all tango dancers should take a pilgrammage to El Corte, Nijmegen.   The host of this tango retreat, Eric Jorissen, is internationally respected as a teacher and dancer - and he really knows how to satisfy the needs of the truely obsessed tango dancer (don't be surprised if you see me there...)!   Also, there's a great tango festival in Amsterdam over the winter Holiday called Tangomagia.   For the truely obsessed tango junky, I would recommend the Tangomagia week in Amsterdam followed by the Winter Marathon & subsequent chained Tango Salon at El Corte.

MONTEREY & B.A. APARTMENT RENTALS...
Fernando Felippelli has put together a great & freindly tango community in Monterey, CA.   Don't miss your chance to visit this scenic northern california coastal community and get your tango fix at the same time.   If interested, Fernando will even do his best to hook you up with a friendly place to stay!   He also rents beautiful & affordable apartments for tango dancers visiting B.A.   Check out his website at http://tangobay.netfirms.com/.

INTERNATIONAL TANGO HOUSING EXCHANGE...
Going abroad and looking for a place to stay, check into the "Bed & Tango" site.

SECRET REVEALED
The Secret Tango Society of SF goes public...

VERBAL ABUSE... (Truely the "polar-opposite" of what good tango should represent!)
This site belongs to my cousin "Dr. Irene", so I decided to put it here, on the off chance that it may help someone someday.

PSYCHOLOGY of TANGO
Check out Mitra's "mind-tango" site!
