Dear Tangueros,

It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the cancellation of the 2020 Lake Tahoe Tango Festival. We kept hoping that perhaps by the end of May the Coronavirus would have run its course and we could get back to life and tango, but that is looking less and less likely. So we have made the difficult decision to cancel the event.

For those who made hotel reservations, please contact the resort directly at (800) 648-3353 to cancel your reservation as soon as possible; the resort will refund your deposit in full.

For those of you who paid online via Square, we have passed the deadline for doing an online refund and we will need to mail you a check. Please contact me directly with the correct name and address to mail your check.

There are, of course, many expenses which we have already covered that are not refundable. For those of you who can afford to do so, we would very much appreciate any donation you might like to make. For those of you who can, any amount helps – you could even authorize us to return, say, all but $100 of the amount you paid. This would be very much appreciated, as it would help us pay some of the debts we have incurred in setting up the festival. If you choose to do this, please let us know via email.

I hope that you and your families are doing well during these unprecedented times. And let us hope that we stay healthy and get back to work and dancing tango again soon …

Abrazos,
Donna Tielsch, Organizer
Lake Tahoe Tango Festival

… This weekend’s musicality workshops with Joaquin Amenabar were transformative. I have literally taken hundreds of workshops on musicality, by some of the best tango teachers in the world. And many of those workshops were excellent. And yet, never has anyone explained tango musicality in such a succinct and easy-to-grasp (and easy-to-dance) manner. This weekend I was struck with the realization that, “Oh my God, we’ve been teaching musicality all wrong – including me.” The approach is astonishingly simple. I will be studying Joaquin’s method and will begin incorporating his approach to musicality into my teaching. And for you, my dear tango dancer friends, no matter how good (or not) you think your musicality is, you owe it to your tango to study with him … I am going to try and bring him to next year’s Lake Tahoe Tango Retreat. One more reason you should go! :-)

The Lake Tahoe Tango Retreat is almost upon us! For those of you who haven't yet contacted me, I need to know what your dinner entrée selection is for the Saturday night tango dinner show – steak, chicken, or vegetarian? Please let me know asap ... or it will have to be chef's choice! Thank you and see you soon!

We have sold out our second block of rooms at the resort, so room rates (which originally were only $169 a night for our group) are now starting at $249 a night! However, there is a resort only 2 miles away called The Village (which also has really nice rooms), and they still have availability for around $175 a night! We will be updating the website with more information on this now!
