Visitors and tango enthusiasts from around the world will come to Basel to enjoy this year’s 26th international tango festival and marathon called “OsterTango” (Easter Tango). This five-day festival offers after-hours tango parties, concerts, tango night, numerous dance performances, a shop of tango accessories, seminars, workshops, and many different classes for various dance styles and levels of skill. The marathon, like the festival, begins on Thursday at 21:00 with the opening "El paraíso del tango" in the large ballroom of the Volkshaus Basel with Orquesta Típica Sans Souci & DJ Seba Canto, and ends on Monday at midnight with a farewell party. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights will host concerts, dance shows, and live parties.
This year’s classes and workshops will be held in various locations in Kleinbasel, including the Unionssaal of the Volkshaus, Kunsterei, restaurant zum Rebhaus, Waisenhaus Aula, and Wettsteinhof. All sites are located within a 10-minute walk of each other and the festival’s center at the Volkshaus. They offer tango classes for those with 2 years, 4 years, or at least 6 years of experience, as well as classes just for beginners at the Kunsterei. So, if you have always been interested in tango, here is the perfect chance to give it a try. You can visit their German/English website for a full program of events, classes, seminars, and locations; register directly online.
Day passes are CHF 40 (Thursday), CHF 50 (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), and CHF 30 (Monday); a festival pass is available for CHF 200 and includes all events (and even cloakroom) during the 5-day festival.
