2022 Tango Storytelling Show

Pitch Your Tango Story

Your story must be true, must be told in the first-person in 7 minutes or less, and must be about tango (dance or music). Be sure that your story is a story, not a speech, lecture, stand-up routine, or sermon. That means it has a narrative arc with a series of unfolding events and scenes. Help us understand what is at stake for you, the protagonist in the story, what the story's ultimately about, and how the experience affects you.
