ABOUT THE FESTIVAL argentine tango
The Stowe Tango Fest from 2005 to 2011 was a vibrant celebration of Argentine Tango held annually in Stowe, Vermont, USA. During those years, the festival attracted tango enthusiasts from around the world who gathered to immerse themselves in the beauty and passion of Argentine Tango. The event typically featured a variety of activities including workshops, lectures, performances, milongas (tango dance parties), live music, and socializing opportunities for dancers of all levels. The festival became a cherished event for both seasoned tango aficionados and newcomers alike.
Stowe Tango Fest was an annual event held in Stowe, Vermont, dedicated to celebrating Argentine tango through workshops, performances, and social dancing. "I Tango the Show" was a tango performance at the festival several years in which we showcased some of the most renowned figures in the world of Argentine Tango, including the Hector del Curto Orchestra, Color Tango with Roberto Alvarez and The Fabio Hager sextet. These orchestras, known for their exceptional musicianship and interpretation of traditional tango music, provided unforgettable performances that captivated audiences. In addition to the musical highlights, the festival also featured performances by acclaimed tango dancers such as Nito & Elba, Gloria & Eduardo Arquimbau, Junior Cervilla & Beverly Durand, Natalia Hills & Francisco Forquera, Los Hermanos Macana, Miriam Larici y & Hugo Patyn, Cesar Coelho & Soledad Rivero, Rosa Collantes & Angel Garcia as well as Guillermina Quiroga & Claudio Villagra among others. They mesmerized attendees with their skill, grace, and passion for the dance. Performing tango can be incredibly exhilarating, with its passionate movements and intricate choreography.
Over the years we changed orchestras and dancers to create a new show, which was an exciting and dynamic way to keep the performances fresh and engaging! Switching up the orchestra and dancers regularly not only added variety to the shows but also allowed for different interpretations and styles of tango to be showcased. It was fascinating to work with different musicians and dancers, each bringing their unique flair to the performance.
Sponsorship of "The Argentine Tango Society" can greatly support its activities and initiatives, as a programs of a larger cultural organization dedicated to promoting Tango dance, music, art, poetry and more in the community.
