Description

Long time ago, behind the seven mountains and the seven fjords, there was a place named Kristiania. Every year in May, the city was decorated with freshly bloomed lilac. These flowers were filling the air with fragrant flowers. After many years, Kristiania changed its new name to Oslo, but the lilacs, kept blooming. Together again with Clarisa and Jonathan!

Kristiania Tango Festival - a small festival with a big soul, loaded with quality artists and hand- picked dancers.

The event is dedicated to crazy people, rebels - Those who dance to pop music when milonga is done, those who likes warm, close embrace, and those who laughs while sipping bubbles! Those who wear vintage and second-hand tango outfits and dance to cortinas.

And those who want to see Oslo looking like a fairytale! With loads of lilacs everywhere, sunny days until 23.00, and refreshing fjord water.

Here is the list with the dreamers:

Clarisa Aragon & Jonathan Saavedra
