The Denver Milonguero Festival honors the style of the great social dancers of Buenos Aires: close, subtle & romantic. Recapture that Buenos Aires experience! Previous events have been non-stop parties. We expect milonga attendance to be 200 - 250, smaller than the Memorial Day Festival by 50 or 100. This is the style typical of crowded dance floors in Buenos Aires. Very-close embrace, use of ocho-cortados and rock-steps, navigation with tight turns. Special themes this year: Milonguero from the Milongueros. Milonguero style dancers from Buenos Aires: Ricardo Vidort, and Dany Garcia & Silvana Valtz. Elegant, Traditional Style Milonga. Play the eye game (cabeceo) at the Saturday evening milonga. Host seating will place men separate from women like traditional afternoon milongas in Buenos Aires. Welcome to Milonguero Style from Ann Arbor. For Intermediate dancers of any style: Avik Basu & Yelena Silnenikova. Ann Arbor has been one of the fastest growing communities in the US.
