[Tango-A] NA-C: Final Call - One week to the Denver Tango Festival

[Tom Stermitz]

Dear Tango dancers,

DENVER TANGO FESTIVAL DATES MAY 23 - 30.
FESTIVAL WEBSITE: http://LaEternaMilnga.com
SEARCH TERMS: Denver Tango Festival


The Denver Tango Festival starts Wednesday of next week with early  
arrival workshops with Christopher Nassoupoulos of San Francisco.  
Thursday will feature workshops with Rebecca Shulman of New York and  
Eric Jorissen of Holland. The early-arrival classes are attractive to  
some because they can spread out our tango joy and save their feet.  
In other words, you can buy a gold pass and choose to do your four  
classes on Wed & Thur and the milongas on the weekend.

While Eric Jorissen's classes are more than 3/4 full, they are only  
half full on Thursday. (We are still allocating two classes of Eric  
to each person).


IT's NOW TIME TO REGISTER

Please register now, and pay ahead of time so the check-in lines are  
shorter. Even if you are only doing the drop-in pass, please register  
as it will help me keep track of attendance and gender ratios.


BIGGEST and BEST

This will be the biggest and best festival yet, with 350 people  
already registered from around the country and over a 100 from  
Colorado (drop-ins will double the Colorado group). The mission of  
this festival is to bring high-level dancers, teachers and DJs from  
around the country to give us all lots and lots of exciting dances  
and to trade ideas in classes.


EXTRA MILONGAS ADDED TO PASS

I've added $5 mini-milongas on Wed and Thur after the classes. These  
are included if you take both classes that day. Or else, they will be  
included in the Milonga pass. Milonga pass costs only $65 for eight  
milongas, and that price includes the early arrivals and the Tango  
Colorado outdoor BBQ. The Milonga pass saves you $42 over individual  
milongas.

Workshop passes cost $85 and are a great deal if you want four  
classes plus want to attend only a few of the milongas.


STUDENT or "STARVING ARTIST" PASSES

I do have some discounted passes available for people who are willing  
to chip in and help at the various tasks. Please email me for more  
information. The Festival does feature Intermediate classes most days.


REGISTRATION CLOSED TO SINGLE WOMEN (at this moment)

Single women will have to hold off on registering until we get some  
more men to register. You may register with a guy. Also, I encourage  
the women (registered or not) to speak with your favorite dance  
partners to make sure they are registering. Again, drop-in  
registration helps me plan for gender balance and floor sizes.


HOTEL FULL

The Red Lion hotel is full, and so is the sister Doubletree Hotel.  
Try Internet search for hotels on Quebec street between 3200 and  
4200, as there are several smaller or bigger hotels in that strip.
