For World Tango Day / Dia national de tango on December 11, we celebrate tango with a dance collage, workshop, and dance night!

7:30 PM – 8:45 PM Dance Collage: Argentine Tango – between Cliché and World Heritage

A cultural history of tango with dance, music, and lecture Since 2009, Argentine tango has been part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of UNESCO, but the socially widespread image is rather that of a macho dance with a lot of sex appeal and, in general, a cliché with a seductive touch. Where do these assignments come from and how did they come about? Benedicta Walser and Pasquale Bloise will take you on a journey to the origins of this "social dance" in Argentina and its worldwide spread. They will look at its social-cultural and identity-forming role. Experience the cultural heritage and way of life of Argentine tango with all your senses.

Accompany the dancers on their journey through 150 years of fascinating tango history: Social Dance, Men's Tango, Stage Tango, and the latest trends of the last 20 years will be thematized.

Benedicta Anna Walser (D) has been dancing and teaching Argentine tango for over 20 years. During long stays in Buenos Aires, she has lived and explored the history and soul of this dance. Pasquale Bloise (I) has made tango his profession for about 25 years. As a DJ, tango teacher, festival organizer, and show dancer, he is based on the Ligurian coast and a well-known aficionado of tango.

9:00 PM – 11:45 PM Tango Dance Night (Milonga) At the following milonga (DJ Pasquale Bloise), everyone is invited to dance themselves.
