Ok, two festivals in the same place, it is (at least) one too many. So, which one is the best?

Well, the April one is during early Spring (and the weather can be rainy here), and the June/July one is during late Spring (and the weather can be really hot)...
More seriously, it's a matter of taste. The second one is new-trends oriented (Fabian Salas and his way of teaching, orchestra Electrocutango), and you may either like it or not, it's your choice. The first one has a more "mainstream" style, and has classes for beginners.

I wanted to make the first one but as Geraldine and Javier cancelled their participation I did not register. I'll make the second one.

Well well, summer has come, the festival begins tomorrow. On my agenda I have two classes with Chicho and one with Fabian Salas.
I hope you're all jealous. It's too late to sign, anyway.

I'm jealous that you are in Paris, for sure. That I can say. 8)

Festival is over. The weather was hot during these four days. And signing for four classes a day was definitely too much for me.
