My knowledge and understanding of social aspects of Tango grew immensely in just those 4 days. Attending workshops during the day and going to crowded Milongas at night, for me, was like being given a set of guidelines and then thrown in at the deep end. Fortunately, I came out better and cherish that experience to this day. Highly recommended!" (Sachin Arora - 2017 winner) Feel free to contact Sophia if you have any questions about the festival. |
