tanGO TO Rome (International Argentine Tango Festival)
International Argentine tango festival in the heart of Rome
About tanGO TO Rome
Argentine tango takes over Rome
tanGO TO Rome is one of the most important international Argentine tango festivals in central Italy. Every November, the event brings the warmth of Buenos Aires milongas to the capital, attracting dancers, masters, and DJs from all over Europe and Argentina. Born as a meeting point for the Roman tango community, the festival has grown with each edition to become a benchmark event for enthusiasts of the porteño embrace.
Five days of embrace and music
The program spans five days packed with activities: workshops and seminars with world-famous master couples, evening milongas that continue until the first light of dawn, live shows, master performances, and a tango competition that energizes the weekend. The format combines educational and social dimensions, allowing both beginners and experienced dancers to find their place on the dance floor.
International masters and DJs
The heart of tanGO TO Rome lies in the Argentine master couples—some of the most respected names on the global tango scene—supported by a selection of Italian and international DJs (musicalizadores) who accompany every milonga with the great traditional tandas, from Di Sarli to D'Arienzo. The evening shows offer the audience performances of the highest technical and emotional level.
A festival in the Eternal City
Set within some of Rome's most evocative dance venues, in the Municipality of Rome and the Lazio region, the festival is also an opportunity to experience the capital: many participants arrive from abroad and combine their passion for tango with exploring the city. The milongas take place in welcoming venues such as hotels and dance halls, designed to ensure spacious floors and an atmosphere with attention to every detail.
Who is it for?
- Tango dancers of all levels, from beginners to advanced
- Enthusiasts who want to take workshops with Argentine masters
- Tangueros looking for international milongas until late at night
- Visitors who want to combine dancing with discovering Rome
