UTango
a Spring celebration of tango in
Salt Lake City, Utah
After a very fun and successful event last year, we’re hosting our second festival in Salt Lake City, Utah. Everyone is invited. We’ve arranged for an array of high quality teachers with a variety of techniques and styles to bring to the event. Instructors like Tomas Howlin and Shorey Myers are no strangers to Salt Lake, Tomas has been teaching here almost every year for 6 years running. Shorey was our guest DJ at UTango last year, and it simply wouldn’t be a festival without her. From the west, we bring Felipe and Rosa, some of the most skilled and popular instructors from the Bay Area, as well as Nick and Tara from Denver, Colorado. Mix that together with a DJ from the St. Louis scene, Mike Tennent, live music with local orchestra The Tango Camerata, and you’ve gone one wild festival that’s certainly not to be missed!
