Tomorrow morning, September 26, you can witness firsthand my 2.5-MILE tango performance with Jeremias Massera, around the lake and through the woods in the North Collier Regional Park at 1500 Livingston Road (between Vanderbilt and Immokalee). It's the l-o-o-n-n-g-est tango performance in history, distancewise! You don't have to dance to get view a "front row" view of the show for almost an hour; just wear black, come to the park around 8 AM and walk close to us from 9-10. We'll be near the head of a parade of around 2,000 walkers.
The walk is part of the Collier County United Way's "Walk for the Way" fund raiser, chaired this year by Naples Tanguero Craig Bamberg. During the 10 AM-noon festival for adults and kids that follows the walk and longest tango, Jeremias and I and a few helpers will be at a table where we'll be accepting registrations for the new Fall Tango Courses, AND for special, new Saturday bootcamps that are NOT about dancing, but about the very unique collateral expertise that I developed in 15 years of dancing tango! In fact, on Saturday, I'll also unveil the scandalous name of my new global business (of which Naples Tango will be just a small part) and website. The United Way doesn't even know I'm going to reveal this. I hope they don't try to cover up my sign with a blanket!
Just to remind you, "The Longest Tango in History", a.k.a. "Tangoing the Walk for the Way", will kick off a new collaboration between Naples Tango and the Collier County United Way. For every enrollment in our Tango courses AND "X" bootcamps that comes through them, I will donate 20% to the United Way. That should amount to some pret-ty pennies over the coming year.
Logistics for Saturday:
Registration is at 8 AM, and the walk starts at 9. Let's register as a group, but get there 8-ish to easily find parking. In fact, Craig is urging everyone to carpool! United Way Donation is $10 per person, and you can see the booths of the local charities you'll be supporting under the biggest tent at the festival.
When you get to the park, keep driving straight, or follow signs to the Fitness Center area. It will be clear where all the action is!
Call 239-776-6535 or email me (htreitman@gmail.com) to participate! Fill your car with other friends!
