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.
