[Tango-L] Revised List of North American Tango Festivals

[el turco]

The only reason i wrote my message was to prevent misguidance.Some events
offer different features than others, the focus varies as it should be, I'm
so happy to see so many events happening, dancers now have more options.

 I respect and read whatever Steve posts,and his website is informative to
all and effective on many tango dancers. I only critised the method for
deciding what festival is for social dancing.
BTW: I didn't write my message as an organizer or upset feelings.  I travel
alot for tango festivals around the country. I 've been travelling tango
festivals over 3 years almost every other weekend. I'm aware of many
festivals listed in Steve's message.

 Therefore, I wanted to reflect my observations, festival experiences and
discussions with other tango dancers and organizers.
Bests,
