Celebrate the winter holidays with hot tango in historic St Louis! This weekend will provide 3 days of not-to-be missed classes and dancing for experienced dancers in a friendly and intimate environment.
This is a small festival with enrollment strictly limited to 100 participants (including milongas) and gender balanced. The atmosphere is informal and relaxed, with an emphasis on dancing. The festival has developed a reputation as a "boutique festival" with a high quality of instruction and with a limited number of serious dancers from around the country. In addition, a special class will be offered for teachers only. No beginner level classes will be offered. Last year we had participants come from over 20 different states as well as from Canada and Germany, with 1/3 of the participants tango instructors. Cost: $130 festival pass (all milongas, all practicas, 6 classes, refreshments, pizza, beer and wine). Full-time students: $65!
