Welcome to the 10th HELSINKI MILONGA WEEKEND! Website and milonga pass registration is at www.tango.fi/hmwWhat happens after the splendour of Northern autumn colours has faded? Goodbye red-and-gold foliage, goodbye daylight...
Welcome November, the ugliest month of the year!
We're not afraid of you, not anymore, because we have the perfect antidote: the Helsinki Milonga Weekend!
As the autumn turns into winter, the Finnish tango community invites you to spend a warm weekend of lovely dancing with friends in Helsinki. Who cares what it's like outside? Come and share moments of joy with us - just when we need them the most!
The concept is simple but brilliant:
A series of milongas chained together with local but well-known DJ's, no registration required, but this year we offer a pre-purchase milonga pass, to make the entry quicker and easier.
---------------------------------
Tangon iloa syksyn pimeimpiin iltoihin! Helsingin tangoyhteisö kutsuu kaikki vieraat läheltä ja kaukaa El Aticoon viettämään lämmintä ja kodikasta tanssiviikonloppua säätä uhmaten.
Tapahtuma koostuu sarjasta milongoja, joissa soittavat paikalliset DJ:t. Ennakkoilmoittautumista ei tarvita, mutta tänä vuonna tarjoamme milongapassia.
