A Tango festival "By Dancers; For Dancers"
B rought to you by the organizers of the Denver Tango Festivals. The 7th Annual Denver Memorial Day Tango Festival is designed for all tango dancers who love the social style of tango popular in the milongas of Buenos Aires: close, subtle & romantic.
We expect the Tango Festival to attract a high level of dancer. This means that skill level in classes will high. This allows you to meet people for the dances later in the evening.
We do not offer Beginner classes. Intermediate classes assume you already know the basics of tango, i.e. ochos, ocho-cortados, improvisation, and navigation. Adv-Intermediate & Advanced classes don't present much vocabulary; instead they focus on musicality, technique, and dance skills.
Changes for this year: Drop-in prices will be a little higher in order to allow a greater discount to the full-festival package. We'll have special musicality classes on Sunday. Finally, Brigitta and Tomas will offer one of their popular Teacher Training classes for an additional fee.
