Tango of the White Nights

It's third time in Saint-Petersburg when a traditional festival is held for tangueros or those who feel like that.

You're welcome to share with us the white nights romanticism joined with the tango magic.

More than a hundred years ago, when tango was given rise as a desperate emigrant's song, nobody could imagine that it would be so strong to move through decades, countries, political regimes, and continents. It did come back to home. It came back in music, in dance, in words told in different languages but always about the one thing.

For Russians, tango is also a part if their history, culture and the times when a secret of happiness seemed to be irretrievably lost. Isn't that why we always hold our breath listening to sentimental songs of Leonid Utesov or Oscar Strok?

But few people know that tango-mania has swept over the whole world including Arabian and Asia countries for last years. First of all, Tango is a social dance. It's senseless without society, intrigues and festivity. That's why each night thousands of people join together at milonga - the tango party with its own etiquette where it doesn't matter how old you are, what language you speak, and what social status you have.

It's a good fortune for Moscow and Saint-Petersburg too - a tango-community has dramatically grown in these cities for last 5 years. Different places in the world already welcome our friends. The world community of tangueros who are so much keen in tango and even a bit crazy about it opens its doors for everyone. You are no more alone, and we all speak the same language - the language of embraces, steps, pauses and heart beating. Almost each month international festivals, workshops and master classes of best Argentine and European dancers are held in Russia.
