This year’s TangoFest Maestros’ Workshops will run 4 days: Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday & Sunday of the festival. Our goal is to make these workshops a unique and intense experience so they will be longer than our usual workshops. All workshops will run at the same time so participants will be able to sign up for one workshop per day. We have developed a unique program in consultation with our artists that reflects their ideas of how to Celebrate the Dance. We’ve also included some video examples.
NOTE: Each of the courses has a corresponding CODE for easy identification during booking. You can use these codes when reserving your classes on the booking form.
The venue will be Youth Square at Y-Studio on the 2nd floor. Take the long escalator from the ground floor to go up.
