[Tango-A] NA-W: San Diego Tango Festival Hotel Deadline Coming up.

[Tom Stermitz]

This is a reminder that it's time to register for the San Diego Tango  
Festival. HOTEL RESERVATION DEADLINE is less than two weeks, so you  
need to get your rooms now. There are some decent airfares out there.

2nd SAN DIEGO TANGO FESTIVAL :
- January 3 - 6, 2008.
- http://LaEternaMilonga.com
- http://SanDiegoTangoFestival.com
- Early arrival workshops by Brigitta Winkler on Thursday, Jan 3.


GOLDILOCKS TANGO FESTIVAL?

Registration is ahead of last year, and we expect attendance in the  
350-400 range (not too big, not too small... just right). Gender  
ratios are doing very well, but as always, we urge women to encourage  
men from your communities to attend... It takes both men and women to  
return home with the festival energy.

I'm getting reports from other festivals that the dance level  
everywhere seems to be up this year. That was also my experience from  
the Denver Labor Day festival, where I felt that the male dancers were  
just a lot more dynamic. I'm not sure what it is, practice, maturity,  
confidence, hormones?

I've noticed there are some decent airfares out there.


ABOUT THE SAN DIEGO TANGO FESTIVAL

- 5 Buenos Aires style milongas, Tandas and Curtinas
- 2 Classes per day from Friday to Sunday

Brought to you by the organizers of the Denver Tango Festivals. Last  
year was very fun with a hugely enthusiastic group local dancers. The  
hotel is an old-fashioned, resort-style California hotel with lots of  
swimming pools and palm trees.

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 aournd the edge so walkers don't distrub 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 teaachers will emphasize navigation and floorcraft  
in their classes.

Workshops are oriented to SOCIAL tango dancing, not stage tango. The  
level will be 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.
