Traditional special events

UTango Festival
June 10-13, 2010

The fourth annual UTango festival sponsored by Wasatch Tango Club is coming to SLC on June 10-13.  The updated for 2010 website is up and running now.  Take a look at some past festival's pictures to see what it's about for yourself.

Mountain Tango
Annually around the first Saturday in August

It became a good Wasatch Tango tradition to hold a tango event at Wasatch Mountain Club Lodge at Brighton ski resort in beautiful Wasatch mountains!

Mountain Tango is typically a half a day event with an afternoon alternative milonga and an evening/all night milonga, with time to hike in the mountains and enjoy the nature and nice dinner in between.  Here you can find more information and planning details.

Halloween milonga at Oxana&Alexei's
Annually around Halloween

Mark your Calendar for Saturday October 31, 2009!!! This year Oxana's Halloween Milonga will be a fund raising event hosted by Tracy Aviary, a non-profit corporation. The Milonga will be held in the Old Mill Dance Hall (wooden floor) at Tracy Aviary, starting at 9 PM and ending at 12:01 AM. The cost is $7 and is paid directly to Tracy Aviary at the entrance. Parking is adjacent to the Aviary entrance in Liberty Park. Use 700 South entrance (North side of park). Turn left just pass the tennis courts and swimming pool. Tracy Aviary, 589 E 1300 S. SLC

2007 was the fourth year in the row that Oxana & Alexei held a costume-optional-but-encouraged pot-luck Halloween party at their home, 3146 Teton Drive, Salt Lake City.  For various reasons they had to skip one in 2008, but the tradition is likely to continue -- watch WTC announcements closer to the Halloween time.

See the pictures and you won't be able to resist: 2006, 2005, and 2004.
