2024 THEME: “Denver Tango Festival Reunion Tour”
A Tango weekend blending an Encuentro, a Marathon and the excitement of the Milongas of Buenos Aires. Three days of tango dancing with an emphasis on the Close-embrace and traditional social codes. Top DJs are selected for their sensitivity to the passion and energy of the dancers and their love of the famous Golden Era orchestras.
LIKE A MARATHON – Dancing afternoon and evening; With “early” 1:00am endings for recuperation.
LIKE AN ENCUENTRO – Limited to 160 role-balanced participants; single ticket for the weekend.
TRADITIONAL MILONGAS like Buenos Aires – Dance floor with tables and seating for all, Close-embrace, floor craft & lanes, mirada & cabeceo.
This festival is for you if you love Buenos Aires style social dancing, and are good at navigating in a close embrace.
I produced the Denver Tango Festivals for 15 years, Memorial & Labor Day weekends. These were some of the largest tango festivals in the US during the first decade of the 2000s. I was happy to take a break for the past 7 years, during which I recovered my passion for teaching and dancing Argentine Tango. In re-inspiring the Denver Tango Festival, I wish to return to the original mission, which emphasized the social dancing of the milongueros that witnessed in Buenos Aires on my first visits
