WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT THE DENVER and SAN DIEGO TANGO FESTIVALS?
- 6 Buenos Aires style milongas, Line-of-dance, Tandas and Cortinas
- 2 Classes per day from Thursday to Sunday
- Pre and Post Festival Milongas (Wed and Monday)
Workshops are oriented to SOCIAL tango dancing, not STAGE tango. The
level is generally pretty high, and many advanced dancers will be
attending workshops. This is where you meet and get to know partners
for dancing later at the milongas. Workshop gender ratios are very
close to 50/50.
This is another "Tango Festival For Dancers, By Dancers", which means
everything is designed with the dancers in mind. Dance floors will be
arranged with tables around the edge so walkers don't disturb the line
of dance. The floors will be crowded, but courteous. Expect two or
three lanes and Buenos Aires style floorcraft. DJs will play tandas
with cortinas.
Most people are familiar with the cabeceo to get dances, and the
teachers will emphasize navigation and floorcraft in their classes.
PRICES:
- Milonga Pass $85 (6 milongas Thu - Sun evening)
- Workshop Pass $90 (4 classes)
- Festival Pass $170 (6 milongas and 4 classes)
- Additional Classes $35/day (2-classes)
