Hi. I am a 5′ 10″ intermediate/advanced leader. I am planning on going to the whole Burning Tango event. I can sign up as an individual or as a couple. If someone just needs to get into the event, I can sign up with you as a couple. If you want to take a few classes together and practice somewhat, that is fine also. I am camping at Fowler’s camprground 5 miles east of McCloud next to the falls. I like classes, alternative, afternoon and evening milongas. I usually cut out about midnight or before and sleep, so I don’t really love staying up till 2 am. I really like Burning Tango, especially Fowler’s campground. It is a nice alternative to urban tango.
Hi, Kenneth.
If no one else has replied, I could use a partner. I’m a follower and an intermediate, or was when I used to dance. Learned in Turkey though, not US, so my style my be a little different. And haven’t danced for a few years due to health issues. But feeling ready again. Interested?
Robin Ann,
I could be your partner to get into the festival, and for many of the classes. I will be there for the whole festival. I arrive on Wednesday night and leave Monday morning. I lived in Ismir Turkey for 3 years when I was in kindergarten and the 1st grade in 1960. Let me know any specifics we need to discuss. I haven’t signed up yet, so I can sign up as an individual or we can sign up as a couple. I am not completely sure, but I think that the followers are closed???… so maybe we should sign up as a couple? Ken.
Hi, Kenneth.
Yes, the followers are sold out. And the timing is perfect for me (between terms — I teach at SOU), so I can attend the whole thing. If you can go ahead and get one ticket for couples for us both, that would be wonderful. I can send you money by Zelle, no problem. Just tell me how much. Choose whichever ticket you prefer, and I’ll go along to as many of the practice sessions & milongas as possible. Will try to get in good shape before that!! Look up my info on the SOU website, and call or email me there so we can exchange personal info and get in better touch. So cool that you lived in Izmir when you were little. Thanks!! Oh, and I’m 5’7″ — and will probably choose low heals!
Robin, I will get the couples ticket (leader and follower) and send the PDF of the tickets to your email. I will let you know my zelle information by “normal” email, and the cost of your 1/2 of the ticket. We can play the classes by ear, and talk about that later. I will email you after I get the couples ticket.

Robin Ann.
PS. The followers are bands are sold out. If you haven’t registered yet, we should register as a couple. I can either buy the couple ticket (leader and follower band), and you could send me a check or use Zelle to send it to my bank. I would prefer a check if that happens. Otherwise, you could buy the couples ticket and I could send you a check or zelle the money to your bank. Ken.
Oh, just saw your second message! Yes, I can send a check too. But let’s get in touch and you can call/email me and exchange personal info that way.
Robin,
I went to the couples registration.
I need you email to fill in the email blank in registration.
My email is kenneth.girouard@gmail.com.
When I finish registration, you should get an emial from Burning Tango?
I will also send you an email with the registration informationn.
I will send you mailing address, and you can just send me a check. I prefer a check over zelle.
Thanks,
Ken
