The New Zealand Tango Festival is the country’s largest cultural tribute to the music and dance of Argentina. This annual week-long festival offers educational workshops, two-day intensive immersion programs, and private lessons with internationally renowned teachers, catering to dancers of all levels and nationalities.

Every evening, the grandest of Milongas come alive with Argentine orchestral music and dance from the 1920s to the 1960s. If you’ve never tried Tango before, join one of our free beginner classes. For those who prefer to watch, enjoy the beautiful performances by international teachers during the formal Milongas on Friday and Saturday nights for a fully immersive experience. Come and be part of the community—everyone is welcome!

 

The New Zealand Tango Festival is a not-for-profit charitable trust established in 2013. All cash donations are tax-deductible. We rely on volunteers to organise and run our events. If you would like to contribute your time or donate, please email us.
