Getting really excited about the Tucson Tango Festival! Last year, I volunteered, but this year, it’s time to get in on the action and dance.
The Tucson Tango Festival is in its 7th year and is amassing an impressive group of participants. Instructors from all over are coming to impart knowledge, including Maria Olivera & Gustavo Benzecry Saba from Argentina, Jaimes Friedgen & Christa Rodriguez from Europe & USA, Brigitta Winkler & Jay Abling, also from Europe and the USA, among others. With 10 Milongas, 33 Workshops to choose from, 6 hours of classes in the Beginners Track, 3 Practicas, DJ Classes, Lectures, a Guerrilla Milonga, Private Lessons and more, no matter where you hail from, it’s worth setting aside five days next month to experience the beauty of the Tango.
Learn-to-Tango.com founders Rusty Cline and Jo Canalli are the masterminds behind the Tucson Tango Festival. They are both internationally acclaimed Tango dancers, as well as incredibly gifted instructors. Just watching them is inspiring:
Their approach to Tango is to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for learning so that each student can reach their highest potential at their own pace. Rusty and Jo are friendly, caring, and truly concerned with sharing their knowledge and love of the Argentine Tango.
I highly recommend checking out the Tucson Tango festival (http://tucsontangofestival.com). But prepare yourself: participation may cause you to fall hopelessly in love with this dance. 🙂
