Tango Feet at the Denver Close Encounters Festival
We're thrilled to have so many tango dancers coming from all over the US... and beyond. The list is sorted by city rather than role because we have quite a few dual-role dancers.

Encuentro Codes & Customs

Cheesman Park Milonga
We style the Denver Close Encounters event in the tradition of the classic Buenos Aires milongas of the 1940s, 1990s and 2000s. This means we strive to follow the historic customs of good navigation and lanes, using the cabaceo to request a dance, and walking the followers back to their tables. This festival is for you if you love Buenos Aires style social dancing, and are good at navigating in a close embrace.
