The Edinburgh Tango Society is pleased to announce the 2009 edition of the Edinburgh International Tango Festival

Take the chance to have a spring break in Scotland’s beautiful capital city while sharing in an exciting weekend of Argentine Tango. It’s a chance to experience top teachers and orchestras from Buenos Aires, Paris and Edinburgh in beautiful surroundings.

At the heart of the Festival is the Summer Ball, a grand event featuring Quinteto El Después. Three other nights of dancing will fill your weekend with shows from the teachers on every night. Visiting DJ, Garrit Fleischman, will keep your feet moving even after you thought you could dance no more.

This years Festival also features over 20 different workshops, from complete beginner to master classes. Running throughout the weekend in a single venue they will be linked by the Festival Cafe, where you can relax, socialise or dance as you wish.

** News! **

* And a little bit extra during the festival: Foot massages, dance shoes from “Liliana Tolomei”, and a designer range of tango inspired clothes from “Modas de Apasionada”…

* You can buy your tickets on the day! Tickets for the Summer Ball, Milongas, Tango Cafe and some workshops will be for sale at the reception desk of each venue.

IMPORTANT! Please note that we don’t have exclusive use of Teviot this year and on Friday & Sunday evenings photographic ID will be required.
