Cannes goes tango!

Tango lessons and milongas in Cannes

Tango lessons and events around Cannes

Despite its glamorous image, Cannes does not have the most vibrant tango scene in Europe. In fact, it’s quite hard to find milongas, lessons (cours de tango) and practicas. But luckily Cannes or Bust has done some of the searching for you, so you can easily find events and/or tango lessons if you are passing through town or living in Cannes.

There are more things than I can list here. But many of them are organised very informally on a word of mouth basis, and most of them are outside Cannes itself. So I recommend you go to one of the places listed here and start asking around. The Tango 06 website (below) seems to have the best info. If you know of any other tango links for the Cannes region, drop a line and I’ll check it out.

First tango festival in Cannes (2010)

If you’re in Cannes between April 30 and May 2 2010, polish your shoes and get ready to step out. This year, the town is celebrating the first “Rencontres Tango de Cannes”. Over three days, the town will thrill to the sound of several concerts (including our tip Gotan Project above, who played a very impressive show at Midem some years back), a workshop run by Fabricio d’Agostino and Elena Albekova and two films. All of this for very accessible prices.

  1. Hey I just wanted to let you know, I actually like the written material on your website. But I am using Flock on a machine running version 8.x of Crashbang Ubuntu and the UI aren’t quite proper. Not a important deal, I can still essentially read the articles and search for info, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of challenging to apply with the config I’m running. Keep up the good work!
