Event Organiser
La Madrugada
Joined in January 2024
As the La Madrugada team, our top priority is to bring together experienced dancers from around the world under the umbrella of an event, prioritizing the comfort and well-being of the participants.
For this reason, this year we have made several changes. First and foremost, we have chosen Wyndham Grand Levent as the venue for the 2024 event. With its 900m², daylight-filled, high-ceilinged spacious ballroom, we aim to provide the comfort of a milonga. Additionally, its location next to Kanyon Shopping Mall and the Levent metro station right in front of the hotel is intended to provide easy access for you.
Another significant change is that this year we have invited four internationally renowned dance couples to our event. Moreover, these couples will not only enchant us with their shows but will also actively participate in our milongas, dancing with our participants. Each maestro and maestra will perform a piece at the Sunday evening milonga as part of 'La Madrugada vs Social,' and they will be selected from among our valued social dancers through pre-applications.
