A FESTIVAL BY DANCERS, FOR DANCERS

This is a festival "by dancers, for dancers", which means we have
milongas every night with some of the top DJs in the US. The Gold
Festival Pass or Milonga Pass include the six weekend milongas PLUS
Wed & Thurs early arrival mini-milongas. The weekend features two
milongas per day starting with the Friday afternoon "Welcome
Milonga", and finishing with the Sunday "All night Milonga".  You
don't want to miss Tango Colorado's Sunday evening Outdoor milonga
and BBQ.

This year we expect about 450-500 dancers, so some of the dance
floors will be crowded. Good, Buenos Aires floor-craft will be
essential. We make sure the dance floors are separated from the
sitting areas, so pedestrians aren't a hazard. The teachers will
emphasize social dance skills in their classes.


2007 THEME: "Music and Musicality"

The focus for the Labor Day Denver Tango Festival is on Milonguero
style, the close, rhythmic subtle version of tango typical in the
crowded milongas of Buenos Aires. This is not a festival for
beginners; the teachers assume you already are pretty decent with
your basic tango skills. This allows the classes to focus on concepts
reather than vocabulary. Skill level will be fairiy high. Based on
the dancers who have attended past festivals shows that:
   - 50% have been to Buenos Aires,
   - 60% have 3 or more years of tango,
   - 60% are Adv-Intermediate, Advanced or Professional.
