About ATUSA and our current situation due to CV crisis.
ATUSA - Argentine Tango USA Official Championship & Festival 2020
This is a very difficult time for everybody, and in particular for all tango professionals,(teachers, dancers, musicians), organizers and especially organizers of major events.
ATUSA Official Tango Championship & Festival is the tango event of greatest magnitude and significance in the US, as it is the Official Branch of Tango Buenos Aires Dance World Cup sanctioned by the Ministry of Culture of the City of Buenos Aires. This April we would have celebrated its 10 Year Anniversary, but unfortunately it had to be cancelled three weeks before the opening night due to reasons of force majeure of public knowledge. Cancelling ATUSA after an entire year of hard work and high costs of production, was tough and heart breaking, and we are now struggling with the financial consequences.
As you all know, ATUSA has promoted the tango culture and contributed enormously to the education of all aspects of the Argentine Tango dance all over the USA. ATUSA has brought together the very best in terms of both competitors and maestros, offering a unique opportunity for competing couples to shine in a high level competition, has launched many couples to a professional tango career and produced 15 (fifteen) Official USA Tango Champion couples who represented the USA at the Tango BA Dance World Cup. Not only that, ATUSA has also offered endless of spectacular amazing shows and word class workshops by the top internationally renowned maestros. All tangueros in the Bay Area and in the US, whether individual dancers or instructors preparing students for competition, or teaching students hoping to improve, have benefited either directly or indirectly from ATUSA.
Now ATUSA, needs the collaboration and solidarity from all tango communities so that we can celebrate its 10 year anniversary in 2021, and most importantly continue having and enjoying the Official Branch of Tango Buenos Aires Dance World Cup in the USA.
If you have not made a contribution yet, but you have an opportunity to support us in this hard situation, you can do so by donating any amount to our Fundraiser on FB or sending a donation via PayPal to: info@tangousachampionship.com
