8th edition of the Welsh International Tango Festival, with tango workshops, milongas and live music staged by Urban Tango Nights.
The Welsh International Tango Festival returns to Swansea University on Friday 27 November, marking its eighth edition. It's a proper weekend of Argentine tango, with the first session kicking off at 19:00 and two more following on. Over the course of the festival, they're running workshops, milongas, and live music, so there's a bit of everything whether you're there to learn, to dance, or just to watch.
The whole thing is put on by Urban Tango Nights, a Swansea-based Argentine tango club that keeps the dance going year-round. They run weekly classes, beginners' courses, and 'Learn Tango in a Day' sessions, alongside regular milongas. The festival is one of their larger events, sitting alongside their Spring Weekend, so it's a good chance to see what they do on a bigger scale.
If you've never danced tango before, the workshops are where you can pick up the basics, and the milongas are the social dances that follow. The live music runs through it all, keeping the floor moving. It's a full-on weekend rather than a one-off night, so you can drop in for a single session or stick around for the lot.
