TANGO FESTIVAL: "BY DANCERS; FOR DANCERS"
We expect attendance to be about 400 range (not too big, not too
small... just right). Gender ratios in classes is usually close to
50/50, milongas 45/55. As always, we urge women to encourage men from
your communities to attend... It takes both men and women to return
home with tango festival energy.
ABOUT THE SAN DIEGO TANGO FESTIVAL
- 5 Buenos Aires style milongas, Tandas and Curtinas
- 2 Classes per day from Thursday to Sunday
Brought to you by the organizers of the Denver Tango Festivals. Last
year was very fun with a hugely enthusiastic group local dancers. The
hotel is an old-fashioned, resort-style California hotel with lots of
swimming pools and palm trees.
This is another "Tango Festival For Dancers, By Dancers". This means
everything is designed with the dancers in mind. Dance floor will be
arranged with tables aournd the edge so walkers don't distrub the line
of dance. The floors will be crowded, but courteous. Expect two or
three lanes and Buenos Aires style floorcraft. DJs will play tandas
with curtinas. Most people are familiar with and use the cabeceo to
get dances, and the teaachers will emphasize navigation and floorcraft
in their classes.
Workshops are oriented to SOCIAL tnago dancing, not stage tango. The
level will be high, and many advanced dancers will be attending
workshops. This is where you meet and get to know partners for dancing
later at the milongas.
