Pre-Festival Community Milonga
Join us at Esquina Tango for a night of dancing and connection as we start the festival weekend on the right foot—or the left! Everyone is welcome at this lively milonga.
Enjoy the fun, informal atmosphere of Esquina Tango, where early arrivals from out of town can mingle with the Austin dance community, make new friends, and share the joy of tango.
DJ: El Yoni
Complimentary Community-Led Workshops
In addition to our popular Maestro-led workshops, we have two free workshops to offer to all attendees. Featuring local Austin tango community experts, we are thrilled to begin Friday with an inspiring class on musicality and start Saturday off right with a movement class tailored to tangueros.
