2010 Jan San Diego Tango Festival

B rought to you by the organizers of the Denver Tango Festivals. The 4th 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.

This year's San Diego Tango festival will start on New Year's Eve and, will be held at the elegant Kona kai Resort, a harbor hotel on Shelter Island, a short hop West of the airport.
The special, kickoff teacher on Thursday, Dec 31 will be Brigitta Winkler of Berlin and New York. Brigitta has been teaching tango since 1980,

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.
