What is a tango marathon?
A tango marathon is an intensive social dancing event, typically spanning 3 to 4 days. Unlike festivals, marathons focus almost entirely on dancing with minimal or no workshops. The format is designed for experienced dancers seeking quality tandas in an intimate, curated setting.
An encuentro milonguero is a similar format with an emphasis on close embrace and traditional tango music. Encuentros are often smaller and more selective, with role-balanced registration to ensure a great experience for everyone on the floor.
