Date: Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 10:01 AM<br><br>On behalf of Nick Aguilar - Dancers With Waves:<br>
<br>
DANCERS WITH WAVES will be sponsoring a canoeing/kayaking/picnicking/dancing in the grass summer evening event at Lake Calhoun on [TONIGHT] Monday, July 20, 2009 . This will be at the little beach across from the archery range on the south side of Lake Calhoun , not the big, main beach which is a few hundred yards west of this little beach. The sun sets very late this day and it’s wonderful to enjoy the evening sun. Nick will be there at 4:30 pm for the early birds. We stay until we’re kicked out or arrested. This event is open to any tango dancers and their friends and family.<br>
<br>
DANCERS WITH WAVES, a group within the Twin Cities’ tango community, was founded by three, fun, groovy, middle-aged guys, Jim Dunn, Mike Ludvigsen and Nick Aguilar, to gather tango dancers to socialize outdoors, enhance the cohesiveness of our community and get to know each other a little better. These events are always fun!<br>
<br>
We supply 3 or 4 canoes and kayaks for paddling (hence our name DANCERS WITH WAVES), and usually people paddle just off shore for a few minutes then return to the beach and let someone else try. We insist that you wear a life vest while paddling. We supply these. If you have a boat you’d like to share, bring it down. If you don’t want to paddle, you can just hang out and enjoy the evening sun. Also, this year Nick will bring two sets of archery gear if you want to try target archery.<br>
<br>
Bring your own beverages, a snack to share, napkins, plastic/metal silverware, cooler, towels, blankets, lawn chairs, bug repellent, etc.<br>
<br>
We’ll have a small boom box with tango and other music for your listening and dancing pleasure. Don’t forget, we’ll be dancing on the grass.<br>
<br>
Please, tango dancers new to the community, young and old, don’t be shy. Just show up, introduce yourself, paddle and dance; we old timers are a very friendly lot. All of you that have been to these events, please talk it up. The more the merrier.<br>
<br>
There is a small parking lot next to this beach with a few meters that you’ll have to feed. Otherwise, you need an annual parking permit from the Mpls. park board. Or you can park on the street, but you’ll have to walk a little ways to get to the beach. Last year I talked to a park policeman who said they rarely enforce parking rules at this lot, but you never know.<br>
<br>
There are many new tango dancers now; so, instructors, and anyone else who has a tango list, please forward this announcement to your students and friends. Questions? E-mail Nick at <a href="mailto:girlie1918@comcast.net">girlie1918@comcast.net</a> or call at 763-780-0309. See <a href="http://www.mntango.org" target="_blank">www.mntango.org</a> Events Calendar under Monday, July 20 for a map to help navigate your way : )<br>

With Happy Feet, Dancers With Waves<br>
