** Workshops at all levels - beginner, intermediate, and advanced - with some of the very most popular teachers who have ever come to Philadelphia - Alejandro & Marisol, Marcelo Gutierrez, and Andres Amarilla. And introducing one of the most gorgeous tangueras, who is already world-famous, but has never before taught in Philadelphia, Ines Muzzopappa.

MILONGA HIGHLIGHTS will include:

** The same GORGEOUS and HUGE venue that we used last year, Neighborhood House, located in the charming and historic Old City neighborhood of Philadelphia.

** Performances by all festival instructors, plus some special guests (like Adam & Ciko!)
.
** A special 10th anniversary reunion performance of the ever-popular Tango Cheeseballs! We can't wait to have everyone back together (including Carlos Moreno & Tova Moreno!!)

** Twenty-six hours of social dancing during five milongas and two practicas. Insane tango high: check!

** A special all-night milonga on Saturday night, back at the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School. This year's after-milonga is hosted by Marc Hussner (visiting from San Diego) and DJed by the effervescent Ciko Tanik!

We really hope you can join us for an amazing weekend of dancing, learning, reconnecting, and all-in-all tango reveling.

See you in Philly!
