As a short follow-up to my previous post, I would like to add a small list of Tango events for Milongueros who cherish dancing in a close embrace to traditional music.
There may be many more Festivals like these. But I just want to share those, that I have visited personally and that I can vouch for. I assure you, that the quality of embraces will be equal to those at the best traditional Milongas in Buenos Aires. These are the places, to where me and my friends from all over Europe go dancing just for fun - if we are not teaching there or organising the event. ;-)
Looking forward to meeting you at these occasions in 2011:

Lots of love,

A very frustrating list as I want to go to all of them but don't know if I will make any of them :o(

Will miss you at Abrazos, Rich!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melina, for this perfect list. It will help the lovers of "Tango de Salon" or "Milonguero" to find the festivals they really will enjoy... Don't know to which one of the festivals in spring we can make it - C's knee handicaps us - but we'll try our best :-) - and latest at FcA in October we'll be here, dancing hell a lot and enjoying every second.
ReplyDeleteReally can't do more than bringing it to your doorstep, Richard...
ReplyDeleteIndeed a very nice list of interesting tango events.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to be the DJ at least at one of it: "Festivalito con Amigos".
See you there!
DJ Bärbel Rücker | Tanzbar
