Tucson Tango Festival FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the local to out of town ratio?
25% Local – 75% Visitors
What is the gender balance?
Last year on opening day the balance was 50-50 Men to Women! Truly it was. Come Saturday night we had about 55% men and 45% women. How did we do this? Merely by reminding everyone and keeping a count and sending email notices as to where we stood… in other words, we put it out there that we wanted a good balance, the rest wqas Providence!
What is the average level of dancer?
We had dancers ranging from rank beginner to 20 years. The average dancer would have been advanced in the 7-9 year range. The floor craft was excellent and the dancers were kind and courteous.
What is the average age of a festival attendee?
Since we didn’t do a survey on this I am guessing that we have about 40% under 30 years of age and 60% over 30 years old.
