About this Event

Experience the First Ever Open Role Tango Festival in the USA! Get ready for a one-of-a-kind tango celebration where the stars are not the performers or instructors- YOU are the star! The Open Role Tango Festival is more than just classes and milongas—it is a space for connection, discovery, and expression. Whether you are a beginner or experienced dancer, no matter your background, style, or gender, this event invites you to explore both roles in tango, opening up new ways to connect through movement and music. Through workshops, lectures, guided practices, and social dancing, we will explore the essence of Argentine Tango—not as a rigid tradition, but as a living language that unites people. Expect: *Inspiring classes to understand how each role works. *Practice sessions and discussions *Amazing DJ Oleh Kovalchuke *Workshops + Lectures by Daniel Traner & Fernanda Ghi *Milongas (Tango Dance Socials) *Special Guests & Performances *Salsa + Bachata Fun Breaks *And many surprises! But above all, expect a welcoming community and the chance to express yourself freely, communicate deeply, and connect with others through the power of tango. Let’s go beyond stereotypes and styles—let’s dance to share, to understand, and to build bridges. This festival honors the true spirit of Argentine Tango: bringing human beings together through the universal language of the embrace. ——————————— Festival Schedule Thursday, October 16 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM | Open Practice (for early arrivals) 7:30 PM | Welcome Milonga Dress Code: Casual Friday, October 17 11:00 AM | Lecture: Tango Tradition & Tango Today 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM Proposers’ Technique – Level I (for new leaders) Proposer & Responder Technique: Sacadas – Level II (for experienced dancers working in both roles) 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM | Open Practice Space + Bachata Fun Break 8:00 PM | Milonga - Catered Dinner (Additional Food Time Package.
