Tango Festival

Tango Festival

Get ready to slip on your dancing shoes when the Annual Buenos Aires Tango Festival starts off in late February. For ten days, this city comes alive with music and dance as experts from around the world join unparalleled local dancers in the birthplace of the Tango. Amateurs and locals alike can watch the show, take a free dance class or simply join the crowd and dance on the street!

The Tango is considered by some to be the most passionate form of dance and music in the world. It embodies romance, lust, yearning, and sorrow. Its origins can be traced to the lower classes of the nineteenth century, and its long history has followed Argentina's political and economic turmoil. The "Tango Renaissance" began in 1983, at the end of a brutal military dictatorship which had pushed it underground for decades. Today, the art form flourishes, infused with the soul of Argentina and is inextricably linked to the national identity. To understand the culture of this country, you cannot miss the chance to see a local couple dance the Tango at the Buenos Aires Annual Tango Festival.


Buenos Aires Annual Tango Festival
From February 28th to March 8th, 2009, the city of Buenos Aires will open its streets to dancers from around the world. One can feel the energy of dance in the air during this festival, almost as if the presence of all the Tango talent in the region has left the entire city charged with excitement.



England Tango Festival
No need to worry about finding this beautiful remote and peaceful venue tucked away in the English Countryside. Just get on a bus, a train or and aeroplane and we will be there to catch you at this end. Sit back and relax, come and thoroughly enjoy yourself. Once you are here it is not like many other places, all the dance floors and all the bedrooms are in the same group of buildings that make up Bylaugh Hall.
