A Huge Thankyou

Dear friends.

Thank you so much for supporting our dance party on Saturday. We are very blessed that you came to share our love of dance, to try new steps, embrace the tango, and to join in the birthday celebration for the belovèd Walter Zylinski.

Particular thanks to Julia, who made this whole thing possible and represented St. Mark's Church in the Bowery who so generously provided their sanctuary, to Alec for devoting his time and handling so deftly the conflicting demands of a DJ, to Walter Guzman for his faithful and tireless work on our behalf, and to Nan and Angela for their sizzling performances. Thank you to Maryno, Peter, Courtney, Jerome, Amy, Mario and Sabrina for help with set up and taking care of business, to Complete Music for the sound system, and to our students, who are taking their skills into the social setting.

And much love and thanks to my fellow members of Libertango Dance Company: Walter Zylinski, who fueled my passion for tango and opened my eyes to the limitless possibilities of the dance and who is, in addition to his breath-taking talent, a fount of kindness and generosity; and Nan Min, whose support and encouragement have been unflinching, for touching the event with magic, being a faithful dance partner, creating the best tango website in the world, and for giving me a few well-chosen slaps on the wrist when appropriate. I love them dearly.

Please excuse my moments of scant attention during the event, unfinished conversations, lapses of concentration, unfulfilled dance promises, and all other oversights and omissions. Among these was to collect e-mail addresses at the door. So if you know of anyone who would like to be on our distribution list, please let me know. I'll get better at this as we go.

Thanks again and Best Wishes.
Ian.
