So come to Urbana IL Nov 8-11 and experience a most enjoyable tango
festival. Our Fiesta is known as providing a friendly environment with
great instructors, great dancers, and a top notch festival facility. If
you've been here before, you already know that. If you haven't been
here. ask someone who has. Festival size has grown from 100 to 140
participants over the years, providing an interesting variety of
dancers to mingle with, a group that each year becomes more
geographically diverse (all over Midwest and beyond), while not being
so large as to make it difficult to cultivate tango friendships. There
are cost saving in coming to our University (of Illinois) town, with
numerous affordable hotels and restaurants within walking distance of
the festival site. Our tango community is also generous in providing
some housing for festival attendees in their homes (preference given to
students). <br>
<br>
Champaign-Urbana IL is located within 3 hours driving and almost
equidistant from Chicago, Indianapolis, and St Louis. There are 3
interstate highways (I-74, I-57, I-72) within minutes of the festival
site, and the Champaign (CMI) airport is 15 minutes away. <br>
<br>
We look forward to seeing you in Urbana in November.<br>
