A Tango festival "By Dancers; For Dancers"

B rought to you by the organizers of the Denver Tango Festivals. The 2nd Annual San Diego Tango Festival will be a Southern California treat for all tango dancers who love the social tango popular in the milongas of Buenos Aires: close, subtle & romantic.

Please note: We expect the San Diego Tango Festival to attract a high level of dancer, similar to the Denver Tango Festivals. This means that skill level in classes will high.

We will not be offering Beginner classes. Intermediate classes assume you already know the basics of tango, i.e. ochos, ocho-cortados, improvisation, and navigation. Adv-Intermediate & Advanced classes don't present much vocabulary; instead they focus on musicality, technique, and dance skills.

San Diego has a great, close-embrace community, plus the city itself has many local attractions: Beaches, Restaurants, World famous zoo, Seaworld, Scripps - Birch Aquarium. The hotel is on a a trolley stop to downtown.
