Dear Tango Aficionados, Were gratified that so many of you joined us last night at the Denver Turnverein for the delightful class delivered by Gustavo Naveira, Giselle Anne, his daughter Ariadna Naveira and her partner Fernando Sanchez at the Tango Colorado Tuesday practica! Gustavo & Giselle especially extend their thanks to the Tango Colorado community for the warm welcome they received as two of Tango Colorado's newest members!
According to door volunteers, about eighty people explicitly signed up for the class, and regular attendees who joined in brought the number of participants past the one-hundred mark! A huge thanks to the Tango Colorado Board and volunteers for their silky-smooth teamwork in managing the high numbers of class attendees, both on the dance floor and in the parking lot. We're equally excited about the high volume and quality of local and visiting dancers who make up our early registrations for our premiere "G&G's Argentine Tango Festival - Part 1" series of weekend workshops starting this Friday at the magnificent Avalon Ballroom in Boulder through Sunday, May 2! If you haven't yet registered, there's still time and space in all the classes. We've put together an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions - see below) to assist you as you mull over all the delightful class choices listed below in the schedule. For commitment-phobes, we also accept registrations "at the door". Join us as we watch more of the unfolding "Battle of the Tango Generations"! *** YouTube samples: *** Search YouTube with "Gustavo Giselle Tango" - you'll find about 220(!) Gustavo & Giselle videos. Here's a recent favorite of ours: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4mAF_oAIQk ...and here's their classic "La Cumparsita" from 2001 (more than a million YouTube plays!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHNz3vEnhUM Ariadna and Fernando lack Gustavo & Giselle's ten-year head start, but a YouTube search on "Ariadna Fernando Tango" shows they have already amassed more than sixty YouTube videos!
