Description

Welcome to the 9th HELSINKI MILONGA WEEKEND!   As the autumn turns into winter, the Finnish tango community invites you to spend a warm weekend of lovely dancing with friends in Helsinki. Who cares what it's like outside? Come and share moments of joy with us - just when we need them the most!   The concept is simple but brilliant: A series of milongas chained together with local but well-known DJs, no registration required. We offer terrible weather but warm embraces and good music.

Ticket price includes food (soup Friday, brunch Saturday and Sunday) coffee and snacks (during the whole weekend). You are welcome to bring your own bottle of refreshments/alcohol.

If you are a group of followers travelling together, we encourage you to use your charm and allure to bring some leaders along with you; everyone will be grateful! Warm greetings from the DJ/Organizing team
