Marathons

NB: Please note that tango festivals are NOT Marathons.

What is a tango marathon? As it sounds it is a long weekend of almost non-stop dancing.

What is the difference between a marathon and a festival? Marathons do not have live music, they do not have shows. They have a smaller number of people - usually balanced in gender, eg: 60 men, 60 women (or this is the idea anyway!)

Who is it for? Generally Tango Marathons are for advanced dancers / teachers who just wish to dance with other people at a high level. The idea is good for these people as there is usually a limited number of people so there is more space to dance, and as the level is higher there should not be people of less experience bumping into more advanced dancers. As there is a limited number of places in most marathons it makes it very difficult to get into one.

If you organize a tango marathon you are welcome to post the event via https://tango.info/add/event

There is also a facebook group [1] for tango marathons, as well as a web page dedicated to tango marathons: http://www.tangomarathons.com
