TANGO FESTIVAL: "BY DANCERS; FOR DANCERS"

We expect attendance to be about 400 range (not too big, not too  
small... just right). Airfares have been extremely favorable recently.


ABOUT THE SAN DIEGO TANGO FESTIVAL

  - 5 Buenos Aires style milongas, Line-of-dance, Tandas and Curtinas
  - 2 Classes per day from Thursday to Sunday

Brought to you by the organizers of the Denver Tango Festivals. The  
hotel is an old-fashioned, resort-style California hotel with lots of  
swimming pools and palm trees. San Diego is full of very good and very  
friendly dancers. They pull out the stops to welcome all the festival  
dancers.

This is another "Tango Festival For Dancers, By Dancers". This means  
everything is designed with the dancers in mind. Dance floor will be  
arranged with tables around the edge so walkers don't disturb the line  
of dance. The floors will be crowded, but courteous. Expect two or  
three lanes and Buenos Aires style floorcraft. DJs will play tandas  
with curtinas. Most people are familiar with and use the cabeceo to  
get dances, and the teachers will emphasize navigation and floorcraft  
in their classes.

WHAT'S DIFFERENT AND SPECIAL ABOUT THE DENVER/SAN DIEGO TANGO FESTIVALS?

Workshops are oriented to SOCIAL tango dancing, not stage tango. The  
level is generally pretty high, and many advanced dancers will be  
attending workshops. This is where you meet and get to know partners  
for dancing later at the milongas.

We will be presenting the ever popular "Teacher Training" classes with  
Brigitta Winkler and Tomas Howlin. Open to serious, advanced dancers.
