Dear Tango Community:
With sadness and disappointment but at the same time with a peace of mind about our decision, we would like to announce that Gavito Tango Festival, a dream that we have been working towards for the last year and half, is officially POSTPONED to JULY 2021.
Even though, July 2020 is still 3 months away, after careful evaluation of the developing events of coronavirus outbreak, recommendations of CDC (Center of Disease Control and Prevention) as well as extensive conversations with the artists, orchestra, DJs, vendors and our mentors, we feel that at this moment this is the right decision.
Now onto logistics:
1. For those of you who have already purchased your passes, we ask for your help by choosing one of the 2 following options which will help us to cope with this difficult situation:
– You could choose to roll over your package/pass for next year (the festival is scheduled for July 2021. The exact dates will be announced by October of this year or
– You could choose to support us by donating the package/pass you had purchased to help us cover some of the expanses.
2. If you already purchased your passes and wish to receive your refund please send us an e-mail at denniscantetangoacademy@gmail.com and we will process it in a timely manner.
3. Hotel Reservations:
Our gratitude to the Marriott Hotel at Warner Center for working so hard with us and for their supportive resolution of this situation. Anybody who had reserved the hotel room via our link under Gavito Tango Festival’s name will have your reservations cancelled and funds refunded by the Marriott Hotel at Warner Center.
Gavito Tango Festival July 2021:
Gavito Tango Festival in July 2021 will have exact same format, location, artists, orchestra, DJs and vendors.
Lastly, from the bottom of our hearts we would like to thank our mentors (you know who you are) and our artistic director, Facundo De La Cruz, for all the support, timeless hours of discussions, and all the feedback that you have provided us with during this challenging time.
Thank you to our wonderful crew for supporting us in our decision, we love and appreciate you:
Artists: Marcela Duran, Gaspar Godoy Javier Rodriguez, Moira Castellano, Pancho Martinez Pey, Lorena Ermocida, Facundo de la Cruz, Noelia Hurtado, Maxim Gerasimov, Agus Piaggio

SUMMER INTENSIVE WEEKEND 2021
WITH ANIBAL LAUTARO AND VALERIA MASIDE!!
We are very happy to present you a new proposal for this summer, several of you asked us to organize something in the summer here in Belgium and here we are after a lot of work our intensive summer weekend tango Belgium 2021 edition.
The idea is to take all our experience in different types of events and adapt it to this very special 2021.
On this occasion, the location is magnificent, with a super large party room, a room with a lot of air circulation, comfortable and spacious for us to have a great time, it is in the middle of beautiful gardens within the wonderful castle Château de Limont .
In addition, the castle has a hotel with 20 rooms and a wonderful restaurant. Our proposal is about 3 days and 2 nights, where we will give a seminar to connect with ourselves and to connect with the other, we believe that it is very important and healthy to return to dance in an intense but calm way, so everything will be focused on finding ourselves more comfortable in the dance to express ourselves better and enjoy the dance more and be more confident.
The seminar consists of 11 hours spread over 3 days, plus 2 milongas, (one informal and one gala) on Saturday night.
We also have a breakfast at the hotel, 2 dinners of 3 services and a great Argentine farewell barbecue on Sunday. We believe that this is going to be a great opportunity to reconnect with our dance and with others. Promotional price: € 390 p/p half board (VALID UNTIL 30/6/2021). After that date the price is € 420 p/p.
The location is magnificent and all the rooms are large and comfortable. We want this reunion to be fantastic !!
Just bring your desire to have fun and share, we take care of the rest, you know!
We hope to see you!

Za górami, za lasami, pośród kwitnących ogrodów stoi Zamek, zapisany na kartach historii Polski i Europy, słynie z tajemnic kryjących się w jego wnętrzach i podziemiach.
Ten najpiękniej położony Zamek w Polsce urzekł nas swoją architekturą i otoczeniem.
Powstał pomysł organizacji spotkania ludzi, którzy docenią to miejsce, a ponadto wniosą w nie nową wartość- swoje emocje i swoją pasję.
Wyobraźcie sobie rododendrony, ogrody, ławeczki pośród zieleni, restauracje i kafejki, wino i… tango.
MAGIC CASTLE TANGO MARATHON jest spotkaniem kochających tango i piękno, spotkaniem marzycieli i poszukiwaczy tajemnic.
Do jego organizacji podeszliśmy z pasją i energią, z Wami z naszych marzeń zbudujemy rzeczywistość, wpisującą się w bajkową atmosferę Zamku.
Przygotowaliśmy dla Was:
● muzykę stworzoną z pasją przez znanych Djów
● ponad 30 godzin tanga
● 220m2 drewnianego parkietu w Sali Balowej Zamku
● noclegi w klimatycznych pokojach (cena specjalna dla uczestników), w kompleksie zamkowym, książęce śniadania,
● gorący poczęstunek każdej nocy, przekąski, owoce 🙂 napoje kawa, herbata, woda w czasie całego maratonu
Zapraszamy tancerzy z całego świata, zadbamy o balans (50/50) i poziom.
Przyjedź, tańcz i świętuj z nami wiosnę.

*****************************************************************************
In a faraway land, among blossoming gardens, there is a Castle widely acclaimed in the chronicles of Poland and Europe, famous for the mysteries of its chambers, walls and cellars.
The Castle itself and its location, one of the most charming in Poland, fascinated us with its architecture and landscape gardens.
The idea occurred to us to organize a meeting of people who may appreciate this place and, on top of that, bring in new values: their emotions and passions.
Imagine it is May. Rhododendrons in full blossom, gardens, benches in the park, restaurants and cafes, wine and … tango.
MAGIC CASTLE TANGO MARATHON is an encounter of tango lovers, dreamers seeking for beauty and mystery.
We have approached the organization with passion and energy. With your help, on the foundation of our dreams, we are going to build a reality enhancing the fairy tale atmosphere of the castle.
Ready for you:
• music created by DJs with true passion for tango
• 35 hours of dancing
• 220m2 of wood parquet floor in the Castle Ballroom
• accommodation in atmospheric rooms (a special price for the participants) in the castle grounds, princely breakfasts,
• hot meal every night, snacks, fruits, drinks (coffee, tea, water) during the whole marathon
On top of that:
• the medieval castle tour and its gardens
• aura of mystery,
• sweet fragrance of rhododendrons.
We are inviting dancers from around the world, keeping in mind the gender balance (50/50) and level.
!!! Important information:
This year we leave the choice of accommodation up to you. The Castle rooms and the accommodation in Hotel Maria offer special price for the participants but you have to book it upon successful registration for the marathon. Transit to and from hotel Maria is included in the marathon’s price.
