Description

Let the many tides of West Coast tango converge on “the Island”. Whether you are a leader, follower, or switch dancer, and whether you are a seasoned dancer or a beginner, we know there are memorable tandas in store for you. April is one of the most beautiful months to visit Vancouver Island. The weather is typically mild (highs of 14-10 °C) with cherry and plum blossoms decorating the streets. 

Featuring five milongas (with snacks), some learning experiences (non-dancing ones), brunches, pro photographers to capture your embraces, and most importantly, lots of great company.

2026 DJ Team: Ayano Yoneda, Yelizaveta Nersesova, Derrick Del Pilar, Saeed Zadeh, and Dan Boccia
