This is a small, intimate and gender-balanced festival intended for serious and experienced dancers. In order to maintain the quality of the experience for both leaders and followers, as well as the boutique flavor of the festival, we limit registration to 120 people - milongas included. The festival has developed a reputation for the high quality of instruction and dancing, as well as for intimacy and friendliness. Participants come from all over North America, with at least 1/3 of the participants tango instructors. The atmosphere is informal and relaxed, with an emphasis on social dancing. Good floorcraft will be essential in the milongas. There is no dress code during the festival.
