A FESTIVAL BY DANCERS, FOR DANCERS This is a festival "by dancers, for dancers", which means we have milongas every night with some of the top DJs in the US. The Gold Festival Pass or Milonga Pass include the six weekend milongas PLUS Wed & Thurs early arrival mini-milongas. The weekend features two milongas per day starting with the Friday afternoon "Welcome Milonga", and finishing with the Sunday "All night Milonga". You don't want to miss Tango Colorado's Sunday evening Outdoor milonga and BBQ. This year we expect about 450-500 dancers, so some of the dance floors will be crowded. Good, Buenos Aires floor-craft will be essential. We make sure the dance floors are separated from the sitting areas, so pedestrians aren't a hazard. The teachers will emphasize social dance skills in their classes. 2007 THEME: "Music and Musicality" The focus for the Labor Day Denver Tango Festival is on Milonguero style, the close, rhythmic subtle version of tango typical in the crowded milongas of Buenos Aires. This is not a festival for beginners; the teachers assume you already are pretty decent with your basic tango skills. This allows the classes to focus on concepts reather than vocabulary. Skill level will be fairiy high. Based on the dancers who have attended past festivals shows that: - 50% have been to Buenos Aires, - 60% have 3 or more years of tango, - 60% are Adv-Intermediate, Advanced or Professional.
