What a great weekend!
Burning Tango was great fun! We rented a house in town and shared the expense with friends and were able to barbecue a steak dinner Sunday night and trade stories on the porch with views of Mt. Shasta. The weather was much cooler than last year, and the air was clear.
The workshops were excellent and the milongas well attended with high quality DJs and exquisite dancing. We went to nearly all the workshops and found them to be well chosen and insightful. The concert/lecture by Grisha Nisnevich was inspiring and beautiful.
I made a little video of some short clips of dancing from a couple of the milongas to give those unable to go a sense of the incredible venues. The main room, the McCloud Dance Country Broadway Ballroom was built in 1906 and has an excellent floor and vintage feel. The room in the McCloud Mercantile Building also had vintage hardwood flooring and an interesting shape.
Just got to say it: Clay Nelson is a genius for bringing this festival to life.

Thanks to all the instructors, DJ's, organizers and volunteers for a wonderful festival, it is much appreciated.
