The Amazing Luciana is back in Portland ~ April 23 - 30, 2014

Here's the thing about Luciana in Portland.  She's been here many times.
For good reason, she has a following and draws students from BC, Can to CA, USA.
So her workshops and private lessons usually sell out.
The only way to hold your space in a workshop is to pre-pay for the role you want to study.

If  you really want what you want, 
here’s what you need to know.
ALL WORKSHOPS ARE LIMITED TO 30 STUDENTS + ROLE BALANCED! 
Reserve your space!  by emailing meganpingree@comcast.net

SCHOLARSHIPS:  For potential financial assistance with Luciana's workshops, please apply to the Portland Tango Community Fund:
http://pdxtangocommunity.org.
They are hoping to receive your call, really!  The PTCF was created and funded in the genuine hope that folks who would otherwise abstain from tango study in workshops will apply for help.
(It's super simple.)

PACKAGE DEALS   (Note: #7 & #8  are not included in package deals)

Workshops # 1 – 6: 2/$48.  3/$70.   4/$92.   5/$110.   6/$125.

MINI-SPECIALS are one of the very best ways to get lots of bang for your buck with a visiting tango hotshot. The idea is to put together your own group of 4 leaders and 4 followers -- folks at about your own tango level. Choose any topic you'd all like to work on (the cross? connection? colgadas? Int/Advanced women leading?) and get Luciana's help with it for 1.5 hours. It costs $35/person (+ $12 floor fee fm the group). You'll get lots of hands on, individualized attention. And you'll have a group of mates with whom to review and practice when she's long-gone!
The Mon eve option for a Mini has filled, but if you can put together a group who can do a Mini during Luciana's private lesson hours, that'll work!

PRIVATE LESSONS:  
Luciana will be available for private & semi-private lessons at $110/hour (+ $10/hr floor fee).
 Please bring a partner if possible, even if you’re not sharing the hour. To see the schedule, go to the blogpost "Private Lessons: The Time Slots".

REFUNDS:  Refunds were available until April 1st.  Now, if you cancel before the event, you can get your money back if somebody on the wait-list signs up and pays for the slot you are releasing.
