The Orange County Tango Festival is an opportunity to work on your dancing. It’s a workshop focused event rather than a social dance only event. Please show up ready to progress and to be challenged. We are offering 3 workshop tracks, afternoon practicas, evening Milongas, world class performances, a couple of “for fun only” dance contests, live tango music, and of course lots of late night dancing with the country’s best DJ’s.
