[Tango-L] Aus International TangoFest

[Pat Petronio]

Allow me to say that Cristina Sosa and Daniel Nacucchio, winners of World 
Tango Championship (Tango Salon), Metropolitan Tango Championship (Tango 
Salon), Metropolitan Tango Championship (Milonga) and the Japan Open (Tango 
Salon) in 2008, were outstanding teachers and performers at the recent 
festival.

As teachers, their lessons were well prepared & appropriate to the level of 
workshop participants. Their workshops focussed on dancing that is 
appropriate for the milonga, including musicality and codes of the 
milonga.They communicated effectively, using humour appropriately, and they 
were warm and very generous with their attention to participants, constantly 
moving around and helping people, despite the popularity of their classes.

I should add that this view was shared by everyone I spoke to at the event. 
To top it off, they're really nice people!

Here's a video of one of their winning performances

The festival organiser, Lilian Jimenez, is to be congratulated for bringing 
them to Australia.
