GOLDILOCKS FESTIVAL
Registration is going great for the festival. We expect 250-300
people, which will make the SDDTX a goldilocks festival (not too
large, not too small, just right).
Gender ratios are approximately even for the classes, with about 2%
more women, and no restrictions at this time. Skill level is about
1/3 each: Intermediate, Adv-Intermediate and Advanced/Professional.
Buenos Aires experience is 55%, 3+ years of tango is also 55%
ABOUT THE SDDTX
This Festival is produced by the same organizers as the Denver Labor
Day and Memorial Day festivals. Our slogan is: "By Dancers, For
Dancers", which means that we will emphasize social dancing, not
performances. We have hired some of the top DJs in the country who
will organized the music with Tandas and Curtinas. The milongas are
arranged with tables surrounding the dance floor, and plenty of
seating for the capeceo.
We ask the dancers to follow Buenos Aires style "rules of the
road" (and that doesn't mean BsAs taxi drivers): Floors will be
crowded, but courteous. Be careful with wild moves, keep boleos low
to the ground, form 2 or 3 lanes at the outside of the dance floor,
neither block traffic nor race about, catch his eye before merging
into traffic.
TEACHERS
Teachers are all chosen for their ability to create entertaining and
creative classes. These teachers are community builders and will
rotate partners. We have one intermediate and two Adv-Intermediate/
Advanced tracks. Level will be moderately high in the upper class as
many experienced dancers take the classes to meet all the other
dancers. Only the Intermediate class will present foundational
vocabulary; The Upper classes assume that you already know how to
dance pretty well, so the teachers will focus on musicality,
techhnique, special topics.
