2006 International Chicago Tango Fest August 24 – 27, 2006.

The American Tango Institute of Chicago proudly announces the 2006 International Chicago Tango Fest, August 24-27, 2006, at the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel, 163 E. Walton. This special event promises to be one of the hottest festivals Chicago has ever seen.

This festival will feature eleven internationally-renowned professional tango dancers and instructors who will captivate audiences and students alike with their passion, drama and ability to create magic. In addition, Chicago’s own seven-piece tango orchestra, Orquesta Bohemia de Chicago, will perform throughout the festival. “Festivals such as these take place regularly all over the world and Chicago promises to make its mark with a powerhouse of talent lined up for the first European style tango festival in the Midwest,” stated Netza C. Roldan, president and founder of the American Tango Institute.

Structured as a teaching venue for students, as well as a performance opportunity for the professional dancers, the different instructors will hold seminars daily where students will be able to fine tune their tango skills. No prior experience in dancing tango is necessary; classes range from beginners to teachers’ level. An interest in tango is all that is required. After a day of workshops students will have a chance to unwind and practice what they’ve learned at each evening’s “milonga”, the term for tango social dancing around the world.

The impressive roster of international dancers include the following professionals from Argentina, Fernanda Ghi and Guillermo Merlo Nancy Louzan and Damian Esell, Andrea Misse and Javier Rodriguez and Lorena Gasse and Ariel Barrionuevo; from Brazil, Paulo Araujo; and from Sweden and Greece, Pino Dangiola and Natalie Brateli.
