Allow me to say that Cristina Sosa and Daniel Nacucchio, winners of World Tango Championship (Tango Salon), Metropolitan Tango Championship (Tango Salon), Metropolitan Tango Championship (Milonga) and the Japan Open (Tango Salon) in 2008, were outstanding teachers and performers at the recent festival.
As teachers, their lessons were well prepared & appropriate to the level of workshop participants. Their workshops focussed on dancing that is appropriate for the milonga, including musicality and codes of the milonga.They communicated effectively, using humour appropriately, and they were warm and very generous with their attention to participants, constantly moving around and helping people, despite the popularity of their classes. I should add that this view was shared by everyone I spoke to at the event. To top it off, they're really nice people! Here's a video of one of their winning performances http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrFwhYwIQ08&eurl=http://blog.t4ngo.com/ The festival organiser, Lilian Jimenez, is to be congratulated for bringing them to Australia.
