I just created a yahoo group, Change of Direction, to facilitate tango
hospitality and home exchange. We've had the pleasure of hosting a
visiting tanguero (formerly a stranger) this weekend, and it occurred
to me that while local dancers often open their homes to visiting
teachers and festival attendees, I couldn't find a good forum for
tango travel outside of organized events.

Please join and post if you have room for a visitor or an interest in
visiting other tango communities. I live in Kansas City, which has a
fairly small (but active) tango population; it's always lovely when
dancers from other places pass through.

Your suggestions for the list are appreciated.

Cheers,

Kim

There already is a site with that purpose:
https://www.tangofriends.com
so please join both that and the yahoo group
if you have room for visitors.

The site is very alive though the latest news item is from 2003
... I signed up a couple of months ago and have already hosted
a visiting tango dancer, during the Copenhagen Tango Festival
where it was also mentioned. Also, I intend to do some tango
traveling during the summer, so please sign up too :-)

And Kim: I suggest that you coordinate with the website
(also non-commercial :-) such that tango travelers and hosts
only have to look one place.

Rasmus
