The DC Tango Festival is a collaborative celebration of tango music, tango dance and tango cinema with performances and workshops taking place in various venues throughout beautiful, historic Washington, DC.
The music and dance traditions of urban Uruguay and Argentina are highlighted throughout the festival with a grand symphonic performance, small ensemble concerts, free tango lessons open to the public, a traditional Milonga, academic lectures on tango, and film with tango themes.
Sergio Alessandro Buslje, the Artistic Director of the Washington’s first Tango Festival, explains that “the personality of this music and dance has created an identity which has now become internationally acknowledged and admired. Washington has long embraced the tango, with the Pan American Symphony Orchestra being in the forefront of promoting symphonic tango, with the lively tango dance scene here, and with the Embassies of Argentina Venezuela and Uruguay hosting many tango functions. This festival is the natural culmination of years of tango enthusiasm that I have experienced in this great city!”
