Festival Booking News

Thank you to everyone who booked their place on this year’s Sheffield Tango Festival. We have now reached capacity and are unable to accept further bookings at the moment.

If you have asked to attend and have not yet paid, please do so before 20 February. Places are not secured until payment has been made.

If you wish to attend and have not yet applied, feel free to do so. You will be added to a waiting list and notified should places become available.

Please note that dance passes and any individual milongas or workshops need to be pre-booked. There will be no walk-in admissions to any milongas or workshops on the day.

Thank you for your enthusiasm; we look forward to seeing you in April!

13 January Booking Updates

Bookings continue to come in apace. Full dance passes and passes for individual afternoon and evening milongas are still available at the moment.

If you are intending to book but haven’t yet done so we recommend that you get your application in soon. (Especially those late-booking leaders!)

Workshops are filling rapidly. I’ve listed below those that are full or almost full. If you wish to book for other workshops it does help if you can book with a partner so that we can ensure a lead/follow balance.

If you still wish to apply for workshops listed as full you are welcome to do so. You will be placed on a waiting list and advised if places become available.

Note that for John Tan’s DJ Workshop, the Orquesta Típica Andariega musicality workshop, and Lucas Gastiarena’s History of Tango presentation, partners are not required. (And for those who asked, Lucas’ session will cover different material from his very successful talk last year.)

EE1 Ezgi Turmuş & Ezgi Sarıkaya: Embrace, Connection and Steps — FULL
