WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT THE DENVER TANGO FESTIVALS?
  - 7 Buenos Aires style milongas, Line-of-dance, Tandas and Cortinas
  - 2 Classes per day from Thursday to Sunday
  - Fabulous Outdoor Milonga and BBQ by Tango Colorado
  - Inexpensive, Nice Hotel.
  - Free airport shuttle.

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. Workshop gender ratios are very  
close to 50/50.

This is another "Tango Festival For Dancers, By Dancers", which means  
everything is designed with the dancers in mind. Dance floors 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 cortinas.

Most people are familiar with  the cabeceo to get dances, and the  
teachers will emphasize navigation and floorcraft in their classes.


FESTIVAL LOCATION: DENVER DOUBLETREE HOTEL ($89 +tax)
Most events will be at the Denver Doubletree hotel, 3300 Quebec St.  
The Red Lion/Denver Doubletree provides free shuttle service from the  
airport to the hotel. Getting to the few off site locations does  
require a car, but Friday and Sunday normally have many people  
offering rides from the hotel lobby. On Tues or Thurs, you might have  
to share a taxi to meet your schedule, however returning from any  
event is typically very easy if you ask around for a ride.
