Nostalgias Tango Marathon Istanbul

“Nostalgia – its delicate, but potent. In Greek nostalgia literally means “the pain from an old wound.” It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. Noltalgias will take you to a place where we ache to go again. To a place where we know are loved.” 

We all know that feeling. Nostalgia, that longing feeling for the past when things seemed better, easier, and more fun. We are missing quality tango moments with amazing music, passionate dancers, hand-selected DJ’s, a beautiful venue with great dance floor and of course with the energy of magnificent Istanbul.

Please know that Nostalgias is not a regular tango marathon. During day time we will have a brunch on a Nostalgic ship and visit historical places of Istanbul and during the night we will dance till the morning. In case you want to have attend workshops of Sebastian Jimenez & Agostina Tarchini its also a beautiful option.
