We’re so excited to gather for another El Motivo Tango Weekend: Elmo Verano on August 21-23, 2026Join us for more than 24 hours of dancing with an incredible lineup of DJs, along with special live music experiences woven throughout the weekend — featuring both traditional tango music and alternative tango music.
Saturday and Sunday mornings, Alex Krebs will guide workshops (intermediate & above) centered around music, listening, and becoming more comfortable dancing to modern orchestras, live music, and alternative tango while staying grounded in traditional tango technique.
Our intention for the weekend is to create a space for deeper listening, curiosity, presence, and connection — both with the music and with each other.
We can’t wait to share this experience with you.
✨This event will be role-balanced.
✨Pre-Registration opens June 1st.
