The Roaring 20’s: The time when a new craze for dancing swept Paris and made Tango spectacularly accepted by the country of its birth. Who knows? Would we all be dancing this dance, all over the world, were it not for the 20’s? To honor this fabulous era, Tango Colorado will celebrate the season with its Holiday Roaring 20’s Ball on Saturday, December 6. It will be a fun time of return in dress, food and excitement. Where? The Denver Turnverein, the home base of Tango Colorado, which has a glorious ballroom, with recently and greatly improved acoustics. What? We’ll have 20 (of course!) incredible gifts, offered through raffle, such as festival passes from major venues, shoes, private dance lessons, etc. Playing will be great DJ music by Tom Stermitz, as well as our local orchestra, Extasis, with not four (as normal), but eight members, all Colorado Symphony musicians. Tango Colorado funded their leader to study in Buenos Aires several years ago and they continue to expand their play list and, most importantly, they are more and more tuned to our dancers. We expect 200 local dancers from all over the state of Colorado. We would love to have you join us! In addition to Tango Colorado’s milonga, there will be a Friday night milonga at the Mercury Café in Denver. Classes? You bet! Tom Stermitz is bringing in Kat and Felipe from San Francisco for workshops concentrating on Tango Turns, Alterations and Boleos. While they have been very popular and repeat teachers at the Portland Tango Festivals, it will be their first time in Denver. Need housing? We’ll find it for you, either in private homes or we’ll recommend hotels nearby. You may call me at 303-466-3820 or contact me at [email protected] The cost for the Tango Colorado Roaring 20’s is $25 for members and $30 for non-members.
