Hi Miki and Elizabeth,
This is Kristie Stovall from Santa Clara, California. I have a spot in my room if you want to be my roommate. I have been dancing in Tango for 20+ years and both roles Leader/Follower; Pista, Nuevo and Milonguero styles.
Let me know if you are interested in sharing room or matching up as my follower in some classes, Practicas.
Abrazos,
Kristie

Hi
I’m heading to Portland Wednesday afternoon and staying in Portland until Monday afternoon. I am a 5ft 3 intermediate tango dancer of 15* years. I’ve been living in Israel the last five years and just returning to San Diego for half the year. Im so excited to be returning to valentango. I also play piano tango and enjoy alternative tango as well as traditional. I do prefer milonguero style embrace. Like Emily I could use a friend or two to take classes, dance, and practice. My close friend Paul will be arriving Friday evening but is an absolute beginner so we won’t be in the same classes. Any recommendations for which teachers would be best for him to jump start as a beginner are also greatly appreciated.

Intermediate follow needs a tango friend,
Hello, I’m heading to Portland Wednesday afternoon. After a stop at powells books I’ll be checking in and staying until Monday afternoon. I could use a friend or two to take classes, dance, and practice, and just generally hang out with. My close friend Bruce will be arriving Friday evening but is a beginner so we won’t be in the same classes.
Im ok with male or female leads. Im LGBT friendly. And I’m tall… almost 6 foot in heels. (Blame my dad).
Anyone want to be tango buddies?

Emily,
I am a 5′ 10″ intermediate …. advanced/intermediate dancer. I would like to partner for some of the classes, especially for the classes where you need a “couples” partner. I will be there the whole festival. I usually take “traditional” tango classes from Andrea and Adrian Monti in the San Francisco South Bay. I do like “nuevo” tango, and plan to go to the afternoon alternative milongas. I like to practice, and can work on my leading and your following (with embellishments, etc). I could do some of the “partner” classes with you, or we could mix it up somewhat. I would really love to have a partner for the “couples” classes, so I could just have a solid plan for those “couple” classes.

Thanks for the call Kenneth, can’t wait to meet up Wednesday when you arrive!
Anyone else interested in jo8n8ng us for classes and practice? Please feel free to respond or just reach out via email ❤️.
Emily. I will plan on meeting you before the event starts on Wednesday evening. If other people are interested in partnering, they can join us to see if anyone is interest in partnering for classes, practice, or other events. We could exclusive partner or have various partners for different events. I would definitely like to attend the “couples” classes with a partner. Ken Girouard.
