structure of "La Valle
Rosada" gives each participating dancer
the flexibility to choose her own best way to engage
the Ojai Women's Tango Retreat:
-
Those with more limited time + resources may
choose to emphasize their tango study + practice,
and focus their energies on the weekend "Core
Weekend " ...
-
Those with more flexibility may choose to stay
on after the weekend for some (or all) of the "Extended
Visit " — optional outings, activities
+ tango available later on Sunday 4/02 ... Monday
