We travelled to this festival for the first time. We found it to be well organised and supported by all the major Tango teachers and organisers in Sydney. The workshop venue (NIDA) was excellent for the purpose. The milongas varied between restaurant and ballroom, a pleasant mix of venues, formality and music, thanks to the guest Dj's. To be expected with a wide range and quality of dancers from near and far, the crowded milongas were a little bumpy, but I can hold my ground as well as any Argentine :). Joaquin Amenabar's workshops were exceptional. Highly recommended to anyone who is interested in dancing to the music (as opposed to max'ing speed / figures). No experience of the visiting dance teachers, since our dance style is "milonguero" and, as with most festivals, this style of dance is not catered for. On balance, an enjoyable week-end of Tango. Oh, and the service in shops and restaurants was friendly and helpful - no exceptions. Good quality meals are inexpensive. Thanks Sydney. See you next year. John
