The Edinburgh Tango Society is pleased to announce the 2010 edition of the Edinburgh International Tango Festival
Combine a weekend of spring sightseeing in one of Europe’s most beautiful capital cities with some Argentine passion. The third Edinburgh International Tango Festival promises to be something very special indeed.
At the heart of the Festival is the Spring Ball, a grand event featuring Quinteto Angel. Three other nights of milongas on sprung wooden floors will fill your weekend with shows from the teachers on every night. World acclaimed DJ Horacio Godoy (Buenos Aires) and the highly talented James Bates (Berlin, Brussels) will keep your feet moving even after you thought you could dance no more.
Enjoy over 20 workshops (for complete beginners right through to master classes) taught by international maestros from Buenos Aires and Edinburgh, including a very special Tango DJ-ing workshop by Horacio Godoy. Running throughout the weekend in the same venue, they are complemented by the Festival Cafe, a place to relax, socialise or dance!

Accommodation Appeal during the Edinburgh International Tango Festival
There is a good number of visitors who are asking if any of the local tangueros would put them up during the festival.
If you have a spare room, couch, floor space that you are willing to give to a fellow dancer for free or for a small amount of money or you know of anyone that does so, please let us know by e-mailing us at info@eitf.org.uk

A big thank-you to all who attended the 2009 edition of the Edinburgh International Tango Festival. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
Best wishes for happy dancing!
Brian, Julieta, Alexia & the EITF Team.
