2024 Denver Close Encounters

Cheesman Park Milonga
Tango weekend blending an Encuentro, a Marathon and the excitement of the Milongas of Buenos Aires. Three days of tango dancing with an emphasis on the Close-embrace and traditional social codes. Top DJs are selected for their sensitivity to the passion and energy of the dancers and their love of the famous Golden Era orchestras.

2024 Denver Attendees

Tango Feet at the Denver Close Encounters Festival
We're thrilled to have so many tango dancers coming from all over the US... and beyond. The list is sorted by city rather than role because we have quite a few dual-role dancers.

2024 Denver Pre-Fest Milonga

Encuentro Codes & Customs

Cheesman Park Milonga
We style the Denver Close Encounters event in the tradition of the classic Buenos Aires milongas of the 1940s, 1990s and 2000s. This means we strive to follow the historic customs of good navigation and lanes, using the cabaceo to request a dance, and walking the followers back to their tables. This festival is for you if you love Buenos Aires style social dancing, and are good at navigating in a close embrace.
