About the classes and teachers

I chose my teachers/classes based on (check all that apply):

I had taken classes with them in the past and wanted more

I had heard great things about them

I chose the teachers I had not taken classes with previously

I read the bios & chose based on those

I chose based on class subject

I chose based on class level & my own time constraints

I chose whatever was available

Other (specify briefly):

How did you like the level of the classes?

	All Levels	Pre-interm	Interm	Interm-Adv	Advanced
I took classes in these levels:
Topics and content were about right for the level
Class was too easy for the level
Class was too hard for the level
The other participants were in the right class for their level
There was at least 1 participant below level in this class
The participants were better than expected

About the number of classes on the schedule

just about right

not enough classes

too many classes

About class size

about right

too many people in the class

Class size was OK but would have been good if rooms were bigger

About the gender balance in the classes

Perfect or nearly so

Not perfect but not bad either

Would have preferred more leaders

Would have preferred more followers

It was ok except in this class:

You can write more details about the classes here:

(OPTIONAL) If you have any specific comments about the teachers please write them here.

Comments/suggestions about Fest instructors (Alex/Rebecca, Korey/Mila, Robin/Kyla, Felipe/Rosa):

Fest Extras

The Exchange was something new this year. Worthwhile or bullsh*t? How can we make it better?

Comments/suggestions about any other Fest events (Carlos Moreno's lecture, Shorey Myers' lecture, massage therapists, etc):

About the milongas

Milonga conditions

	More needed	Just right	Too many/too much
Total # of people
followers
leaders
beginners
intermediate-level dancers
advanced dancers
people my age
formality (setup, dress code, etc)

About the skill level at the milongas (check all that apply)

There were beginners but I was OK with that

The skill level should have been higher (too many beginners for my taste)

The skill level was as expected at a reputable festival (enough intermediate/advanced dancers)

The skill level exceeded my expectations

About the floorcraft at the milongas

Great, considering crowd size

Better than I expected

Adequate

Suboptimal

Pretty bad, people crashed into me

Where did all these people come from and why do I keep hitting them?

Any comments about the performances?

About the food (check all that apply)

There was the right amount of food

There was not enough food

Food was generally tasty and good for energy

Food was too much snacks and not enough real food

I don't care so much about food, as long as there are some snacks to keep me dancing

Here's another idea/menu suggestion for next year:

OPTIONAL. If you have any comments about the milongas (DJ/music, sound, location, crowd, floor) please write them here:

Friday True Blue Milonga. Location: Branford Dining Hall. DJ: Robin Thomas
Saturday All night Milonga. Location: Harkness. DJ: Shorey Myers
Sunday Midsummer Night's Milonga. Location: Harkness. DJ: Alex Krebs

About practical matters

About the Yale Tango Fest Website

Optimally useful

Not enough info

Too much info

Would have been nice to have this info, too:

About the booklet

Inconvenient to print at home

Useful to have ahead of time to know parking, food, map, etc.

Generally useful, thanks for making it!

Overkill, don't bother next year

What booklet??

comment:

About advance online registration

its an efficient process

it was confusing, please make it more clear

too many intrusive questions

I did not mind the questions

Here's a suggestion for next time:

About the registration at the fest welcome and sign-in desks

it was efficient

it was not efficient and took too much time

the Pass was confusing

I liked that I got a Pass which showed my schedule

My Pass was where I was supposed to be but I wasn't, it was hard to track it down

I was where I was supposed to be but my Pass wasn't, it was hard to track it down

Here's a suggestion for next time:

About ...

I liked the Buy/Sell Used Tango Shoe Exchange

I liked the T-shirts and tanktops

I had a good experience being hosted

My host was NOT good

The hotel was OK

The hotel was not OK, please write below which hotel

About the festival concept

More or Less? I would prefer:

Did you find it easy to meet people to socialize and dance with? Check all that apply:

I thought pretty much everybody was open, friendly, outgoing and approachable

Not everybody was friendly (if anyone was unacceptably rude, please let us know who)

The people I wanted to dance with were open to dancing with me, even if we were not necessarily of the same skill level

I found a lot of the advanced dancers were dancing with each other all the time and not enough with me (I am not advanced I guess)

There was nobody I wanted to hide from at the milonga

I was pursued by one or more persistent persons that I had absolutely no desire to dance with

I was a bit intimidated by the awesome dance level of some of the people there

More details about issues, or suggestions to improve mingling and meeting new people?
