Reviews of "Tango Sol 2024"
Larisa
The Tango Sol Festival turned out to be a very warm and truly lively event. The maestros were open, explained everything simply and clearly, and there was a feeling that you were not just at a master class, but communicating with real like-minded people. The atmosphere was very friendly, everyone supported each other, laughed a lot and learned new things. I especially remember the energy of the teachers - they not only dance cool, but also know how to infect you with their mood. In general, it was a great experience that I want to repeat. Thanks to everyone who was there - such festivals really unite.
Natalia
The Tango Sol Festival turned out to be very warm and soulful. It was great to meet such different, but close in spirit people, to communicate and dance together. Special thanks to Alexander Vistgof and the whole team - it felt like everything was organized with soul and care for everyone. The maestros not only shared their experience and techniques, but also helped to feel tango more deeply, to understand its essence. I really want such meetings to continue, and the atmosphere of unity and inspiration to only grow stronger. Thanks to everyone who was involved - it was truly a holiday!
Catherine
Everything was without unnecessary formality - just people who love tango, gathered together to dance, communicate and enjoy life. The atmosphere was very friendly, even if you see someone for the first time, you still feel like everyone is yours. The music was pleasing - the DJs selected tracks not only classical, but also something fresh, so there was no time to get bored. The dancing went on until the evening, your legs were falling off, but it was impossible to stop.
