Why “Open Role”?
Because tango belongs to everyone. At this festival, roles are not defined by gender, but by a deep understanding of their origins. Lead, follow, or switch—it’s your choice!
We celebrate connection, fluidity, equality in participation, and freedom in the embrace.
What to Expect
• World-class instructors who honor both the tradition and the evolution of tango
• A welcoming, inclusive environment for all dancers
• Social dancing every night with DJs and live music
• Workshops for all levels – from role-switching fundamentals to advanced technique and connection
• A special lecture by pioneers of role-switching in the U.S.
• Community, personal growth, and meaningful interaction—both on and off the dance floor
• Practice sessions and discussions
• Performances
• Live Music
• And many surprises!
But above all, expect a welcoming community and the chance to express yourself freely, communicate deeply, and connect with others through the power of tango.
Secure your spot today and be part of an unforgettable tango experience!
